How Issaquah’s backflow program works

The short version, summarized from the utility’s own cross-connection control materials.

Source: City of Issaquah Public Works · verified October 2026 ↗
01

Each property with a backflow assembly gets an account number and a yearly due date; reminder letters go out monthly.

02

Since January 1, 2023, all test reports must be submitted through the Tokay WebTest portal — not by mail, fax or email.

03

A failed assembly must be repaired immediately and retested; your account isn’t current until a passing test is received.

04

If the annual test isn’t performed, the City is required to terminate water service under IMC 13.13 and WAC 246-290-490.

We show you the reading, quote the repair, and in most cases rebuild and retest on the same visit. The passing retest is what gets filed with City of Issaquah.
