Lee County Utilities at a glance
- When the test is due
- Under the Lee County Utilities Cross-Connection Control Policy (revised June 2024), assemblies are tested after installation or repair and then annually or biennially depending on the hazard category. Source.
- How the report is filed
- Testers submit Lee County test reports online at bsionline.com, using the customer confirmation number printed on the customer's annual notification letter. Source.
- If a test is missed
- An owner notified of an untested or unmaintained assembly has 30 calendar days to test or repair it, after which water or fire service can be refused or discontinued. Source.
- Approved testers
- No tester list on the Lee County Utilities pages read here. Ask a Florida certified tester whether Lee County Utilities has them on file.
Notices and deadlines
- Lee County Utilities mails customers a notice roughly 30 days before each required test is due. Source.
Tester registration
- Testers must hold Florida certification in the right specialty, and certified testers and repairers are suspended for at least one year after a third documented policy violation. Source.
From notice to filed report, the steps are the same everywhere: how a backflow test goes.
