Utilities Backflow Prevention and Maintenance

Attention Backflow Testers, Plumbing Contractors and Fire Sprinkler System Contractors

A unit has been formed by The City of Punta Gorda to coordinate the backflow prevention program. In an effort to meet regulatory requirements, we require you to provide Punta Gorda Utilities Cross Connection Control Program with all results and reports from backflow tests, installations or repairs. This includes backflow preventers on commercial or residential sites and fire sprinkler systems. Technicians must have valid certifications in backflow testing or backflow repair.

Click here to use the City form (or you can use a similar document if you are currently using one) to record test results and document repairs. This form can be faxed or mailed, along with tester certifications, to:
