If Your Backflow Preventer is Due for Testing

• JEA will schedule a certified backflow preventer tester to come to your home to test your device. You do not need to be at home and the inspector will not enter your home. 
• The cost for this test is $35 and will be added to your next JEA bill.
• Your test results will be submitted to JEA by the testing company
• The testing company representative will leave a copy of the findings at your home.
• If you choose to hire your own Qualified Vendor to perform your backflow preventer testing, the Qualified Vendor must submit the passing test to JEA within 10 days of the test. View a list of Qualified Vendors

If Your Backflow Preventer Requires Repairs
