Backflow Testing in Orlando
Annual backflow testing in Orlando, with the report filed so the notice stops.
Orlando addresses are split between OUC inside the city and Orange County Utilities outside it, each with its own cross-connection program, forms and tester list — the first question on any Orlando job is which one you are on. The first thing we ask on an Orlando job is whose logo is on the bill. We file with OUC or Orange County accordingly.

Quick answer
Backflow testing in Orlando means a certified tester checks the device on your meter, irrigation line or fire line with a calibrated gauge and files the passing report with your water purveyor. Orlando is two programs: OUC serves addresses inside the city and some surrounding areas, and Orange County Utilities serves unincorporated Orange County. Each has its own cross-connection program, forms and tester list. Neither OUC nor Orange County tests private devices for you; both require annual testing by a certified tester and a report filed with the right program.
What we
actually do.
Orlando is a half-hour down I-4 or 417. We take Orlando work by the property, mostly commercial accounts and property managers with multiple sites.
We turn down the test when your city already does it for you. Longwood tests residential devices for a fee, Casselberry tests irrigation devices on its own cycle, and Altamonte Springs tests residential devices at no charge. If your notice says the city is doing the test, use the city — paying us on top of that is wasted money.

Backflow Testing in Orlando — FAQ
Who does my backflow test report go to in Orlando?
Orlando is two programs: OUC serves addresses inside the city and some surrounding areas, and Orange County Utilities serves unincorporated Orange County. Each has its own cross-connection program, forms and tester list. The first thing we ask on an Orlando job is whose logo is on the bill. We file with OUC or Orange County accordingly.
Does the city of Orlando test backflow devices itself?
Neither OUC nor Orange County tests private devices for you; both require annual testing by a certified tester and a report filed with the right program.
How long does a backflow test take in Orlando?
About 20 to 30 minutes per device once we are on site, with your water off for a few minutes of it. Orlando is a half-hour down I-4 or 417. We take Orlando work by the property, mostly commercial accounts and property managers with multiple sites.
Is my Orlando property on OUC or Orange County Utilities?
Look at the water bill. OUC bills carry the OUC name and usually cover electric too; Orange County Utilities bills come from the county. It matters because the two programs use different forms and different submission methods, and a report sent to the wrong one does not count. If you have several properties, some may be on each.
What do I need to do before the tester arrives?
Make sure the device is reachable — cut back landscaping if it is buried, and have the key if it is in a locked enclosure. You do not need to be home for an exterior device. If you know the make and model, tell us when you book so the right rebuild kit is on the truck in case it fails.
Holding a notice? Call the tester.
Read us the notice. We tell you who it says should do the test, what it costs if that is us, and — if your city already tests for you — that you do not need us at all.
