Toho Water Authority: backflow testing rules

Who must test

• Following FDEP guidelines, residential assemblies are tested once every two years by a contractor working for Toho. Source.
• Commercial customers must still test and maintain their own backflow assemblies every year. Source.
• Irrigation systems on drinking water must have a reduced pressure backflow assembly under FDEP rules; Toho leaves a door hanger before installing one. Source.

Notices and deadlines

• Toho Water Authority notifies commercial customers when their annual test needs to be completed. Source.

Fees

• Residential customers no longer test or maintain their own assemblies; Toho does it for a $3 monthly fee, with no extra charge for repairs or replacement. Source.

Program

• Toho Water Authority runs a cross connection control program required by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, covering residential and commercial backflow assemblies. Source.

Finding a tester Toho Water Authority accepts

We found no tester list on Toho Water Authority's own pages. Use a state certified tester, and check your notice in case it names the testers or the portal it accepts.

Before you book, ask the tester:

• Are you registered with Toho Water Authority?
• Will you send the test report to the utility for me, and how?
• When is my report due? The date is on your notice; the tester needs time to test, repair if needed and file.
