Alfaβs Annual Backflow Testing Program
$65.00 Backflow Test (does not include filing fees, where applicable)
Backflow (RPZ) Testing is an annual requirement per the EPA, an Illinois state law enforced by your local village/water purveyor. Our annual Backflow Program consists of testing the backflow device, including filing the certification per village requirements. Backflow devices are installed on any cross connection situation, residential or commercial, as required by your city. Most backflow devices are installed on (just to name a few) Lawn Sprinkler Systems, Water Fed Pools, Fire Sprinkler Systems, Domestic Water applications, Dental Chairs, Industrial Dish Washers/Washing Machines/Soap Dispensers and more.
Over the years there are many municipalities who are are now outsourcing their filing of the test results to an online filing system, resulting in a filing fee for many of those cities. (Example: BSI Online, The Compliance Engine, Aqua Backflow, CCRA) Please contact the office to confirm total costs, if your city is using one of these companies. If your filing fee is charged directly from your city; such as Des Plaines, you must submit your own filing fee to your municipality.
