North Port's Backflow Prevention Requirements

North Port Utilities runs a Cross-Connection Control Program that requires annual backflow testing on all properties with a cross-connection to the public water supply. Unlike some neighboring cities, North Port uses an online portal for test submissions, and only certified testers registered with the utility can submit reports on your behalf.

Scott Eason is registered with the North Port Utilities portal. When we test your assembly, the report is filed electronically in the format the city requires. You never touch a PDF, fax machine, or email attachment.

Portal Registration

Why North Port Utilities Portal Registration Matters

North Port Utilities is the only Charlotte County utility that accepts certified test reports through an online Cross-Connection Control portal. The portal is real-time: a registered tester submits the certified test report, the portal time-stamps the submission, and the compliance record on the property updates the same business day. Reports from non-registered testers cannot be submitted through the portal and have to be mailed or emailed through a back channel, which adds days to the compliance update.

A Plus Backflow Testing is registered on the North Port Utilities portal. Every test we run in North Port gets filed through the portal the same business day, and you get the confirmation timestamp in the certified test report PDF. If you have hired a tester before who said "the report is in the mail" or "we will file it next week," they were probably not portal-registered. For more on the filing process and what each utility wants on a certified test report, see our how to file your backflow test report in Florida guide.

On Site

What a North Port Annual Backflow Test Looks Like

About twenty minutes on site for most residential PVB and DCV testing. Thirty to forty-five minutes for commercial RPZ depending on assembly size and access. The on-site procedure: we confirm the device, model, and meter; attach a calibrated differential pressure gauge to the test ports; close the shutoffs in sequence; watch the readings as each check valve and (on an RPZ) the relief valve cycles through; record the readings on a certified test report; restore the shutoffs; and re-verify the assembly holds pressure.

You receive the signed PDF of the certified test report by email the same business day, and we file the report through the North Port Utilities Cross-Connection Control portal the same business day. Your compliance record on the city's portal updates in real time. For pricing variables in North Port specifically, see our North Port backflow testing cost guide.
