Backflow Assembly Testing in Kent

Washington's cross-connection control rule (WAC 246-290-490) requires every backflow assembly in Kent — from Kent Station to East Hill — to be tested annually by a state-certified tester, with results filed to your water purveyor. Prolific tests, tags, and files it, so the deadline never becomes a shut-off notice.

Why Kent requires annual testing

Under WAC 246-290-490, your water purveyor must verify that every backflow prevention assembly protects the public water supply. Miss the annual test and you risk a water shut-off. Our BAT-certified testers handle reduced-pressure (RP) and double-check (DC) assemblies and submit the report for you.
