Filing a backflow test report to the City of Abbotsford

Where it goes

Email the completed report. The address is printed on the City’s own test report form — three times, in the footer of every page.

How often, and by when

Annually. The report is due within 30 days of the test.

Source: Waterworks Regulation Bylaw 2665-2017, s.29(5).

Whatever the deadline, the report only stands if your test kit was in calibration on the day. Most programmes require it every twelve months, and a lapsed kit does not slow you down — it stops you filing at all. We will email you before yours lapses, free.

Worth knowing

We had this listed as publishing no intake address at all, and it was wrong — the form carries one. Listed here because the correction is the reason to trust the rest.

Not a tester? If you own or manage the building and a notice arrived, here is what it means and what you have to do.

When we checked

Checked 21-Sep-2026, against Abbotsford's own bylaw, tester sheet or test report form. These change. If this is wrong, tell us and we will fix it the same day — help@backflowfiled.com. We would rather be corrected than be confidently out of date.

We make software that fills in the authority's own form and keeps the record — what that looks like. This page is here whether or not that is of any use to you. All 46 BC authorities →

Status: Takes reports directly.
