My backflow test notice from City of Kamloops: what do I do, and by when?
The rule
Within 30 days of the test. In the City of Kamloops's own words:
“all related Test Reports must: (vi) be submitted to the Utility Services Manager together with the fee specified in Schedule “A” within Thirty (30) calendar days of the test date or as otherwise directed by the Utility Services Manager”
Bylaw (Cross Connection Control Bylaw No. 12-71, 2022, s.4.6(a)(vi)) · read 26-Sep-2026
Worth knowing: $10 per report, plus a data-entry fee on email or paper filings since 1 July 2025. A report received 30 or more days late may be rejected, which voids the test (s.4.7(g)).
What to do, in order
- Find the date that starts the clock: the day of the test. The clock does not start until the test is done.
- Book a certified backflow tester for every device listed on the notice (annually).
- Make sure the tester's report reaches City of Kamloops inside the window. Reports go through FAST Tester. Keep the confirmation, not only your sent copy.
