How Everett’s backflow program works
The short version, summarized from the utility’s own cross-connection control materials.
Source: City of Everett Public Works · verified October 2026 ↗Both state law (WAC 246-290-490) and Everett Municipal Code 14.16.470 require a successful annual test by a state-certified tester.
Results must be submitted to the City on its Backflow Prevention Assembly Test Report form.
The City publishes a list of certified testers who have said they work in Everett — it isn’t an endorsement, and it doesn’t set prices.
Report submission
We complete the City’s test report form and submit it for you, with a copy to you for your records.
