What to Expect

Please think of your Shakopee backflow testing date like a meter reading, not a guaranteed appointment time. We try to come on the day you schedule, but backflow testing in Shakopee may happen 1 to 2 days later depending on weather, route efficiency, and system issues.

You will usually receive an email reminder for the scheduled day and a text about 15 to 30 minutes before we arrive.

You do not need to be home for lawn irrigation backflow testing in Shakopee. The water must be turned on to the backflow device and we need access to it. If you are home, come out and say hi if you see us.

Testing Season

Shakopee backflow testing is typically done from April through November.

Testing hours are generally from 7:00 AM to 9:00 PM, or until it gets too dark to work safely.

We normally test Monday through Friday. Saturday testing may be available if weather delays or other issues affect the schedule during the week.

Filing and Results

We submit your Shakopee MN backflow testing report through The Compliance Engine, which is the third party system used by SPU.

The $15 to $20 filing fee is included in our testing fee.

You will receive a copy of the test results by email after we submit them. There should also be a tag on the backflow device with our signature and the date of testing.

Important Notice About $150 Fines

If you received a $150 non-compliance fine and we already completed your Shakopee backflow testing, contact us right away.

Please leave your name, home address, and test date. We will review the situation and do everything we can to help you figure out why the fine was issued and whether it may qualify for a credit.

If you have not completed your backflow testing in Shakopee and received a fine, contact us to schedule your test. You may also need to contact SPU about the credit process.

Why Backflow Testing Matters

Backflow happens when water flows in the wrong direction and contaminated water enters the clean water supply. A backflow preventer helps stop this from happening.

That is why annual backflow testing in Shakopee is required. The test helps make sure the device is working correctly and helps protect your home and the public water supply.
