What is Certified Backflow Prevention Assembly Tester List – Sacramento County, CA?
The Certified Backflow Prevention Assembly Tester List is the roster that the Sacramento County Environmental Management Department (EMD), Environmental Protection Division, publishes of certified backflow prevention assembly testers, with each tester's ID, name, business, city, phone and email.
The page header reads "County of Sacramento, Environmental Management Department, Environmental Protection Division, Certified Backflow Prevention Assembly Testers". The footer of every page reads "EMD Certified Backflow Testers" with the page number (1 to 9) and the date "Updated 9/1/2026". EMD lists the document under Cross Connection Control (Backflow Prevention) on its Water Program and Well Forms page.
The list has six columns: TESTER ID, TESTER NAME, BUSINESS NAME, CITY, PHONE and EMAIL. Some rows show N/A where a business name or email is not given. Several testers can share one business, phone number or email, so the tester ID is what tells entries apart.
It is a reference list, not an application. Other cross connection resources on the same EMD page include the Cross Connection Water Supplier Contact List, the Sacramento County Water Purveyors Map and the Cross Connection Ordinance (Sacramento County Code Chapter 6.30). The approved backflow prevention assemblies are listed separately, by the University of Southern California's Foundation for Cross-Connection Control and Hydraulic Research at http://fccchr.usc.edu/.
Who needs to file Certified Backflow Prevention Assembly Tester List – Sacramento County, CA?
The list is for anyone who needs to find a certified backflow prevention assembly tester and wants the contact details EMD publishes for each one. EMD places it in the Cross Connection Control (Backflow Prevention) section of its water forms, next to the water supplier contact list and the county's cross connection ordinance, Sacramento County Code Chapter 6.30.
Testers themselves appear on the list; the document does not explain how a person becomes certified or who must hire a tester, so check the ordinance and EMD for those questions.
The list does not rank or recommend anyone. EMD states that it neither endorses nor assumes liability for the work performed by the listed entities, and that questions about cost or services go to the individual entity, not to EMD. Not every tester is based in Sacramento County: the CITY column includes places such as Yuba City, Stockton, Manteca and Murrieta, so check the city when you choose.
When to file Certified Backflow Prevention Assembly Tester List – Sacramento County, CA
The list is not filed, so it has no due date. Use it whenever you need to look up a certified tester. It is a dated document: each page carries "Updated 9/1/2026", and EMD's water forms page shows the same update date for the Certified Backflow Prevention Assembly Tester List. Check that date against the version on EMD's page before you rely on a phone number or email, because the list can be replaced when EMD publishes a newer one.
How to fill out Certified Backflow Prevention Assembly Tester List – Sacramento County, CA
Open the current tester list
Open the nine-page PDF and confirm that the footer reads "Updated 9/1/2026", the date EMD shows on its water forms page.
Scan the TESTER NAME column
Names are listed in the order of tester ID, not alphabetically, so search the full document for the person or company you want.
Check the BUSINESS NAME column
Several testers can work under one business. Some rows show N/A in this column.
Note the tester's CITY
The CITY column includes places outside Sacramento, so pick a tester whose city suits your location.
Use the PHONE and EMAIL columns
Contact the entity directly. Some rows show N/A in the email column; use the phone number for those.
Record the TESTER ID
Write down the ID that starts with "PI" next to the name, because shared phone numbers and businesses can make rows look alike.
Read the disclaimer and keep a copy
EMD neither endorses nor assumes liability for the work. Fill out the PDF online on FillingPDF if you want to add notes, then download or print it.
How to submit Certified Backflow Prevention Assembly Tester List – Sacramento County, CA
Nothing is submitted with this document. It names no filing channel, address or portal; it is a directory you read and then use to contact a tester yourself.
- By phone or email: Use the PHONE and EMAIL columns to contact the tester or business directly. Ask the entity itself about cost and services, as the list's disclaimer directs.
- At the agency: The county publishes the list on the Water Program and Well Forms page of the Environmental Management Department (emd.saccounty.gov), under Cross Connection Control (Backflow Prevention). EMD asks readers to contact its office with questions about the approved assembly lists.
FillingPDF lets you fill out the PDF online and download it; nothing is sent to EMD through FillingPDF, and any contact with a tester follows the details printed on the list.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Treating the list as an EMD endorsement. EMD states that it neither endorses nor assumes liability for the work performed by the listed entities.
- Calling EMD about the price of a test. The list says questions about cost or services go to the individual entity.
- Relying on an older copy. Each page is dated "Updated 9/1/2026", so compare that date with the version on EMD's water forms page.
- Assuming every listed tester is in Sacramento County. The CITY column includes locations such as Yuba City, Stockton, Manteca and Murrieta.
- Confusing testers who share a business, phone number or email. Use the TESTER ID and TESTER NAME to identify the person you want.
- Looking for an email where the list shows N/A. Use the phone number for those entries.
- Using this list to look up approved backflow assemblies. EMD directs readers to the University of Southern California's Foundation for Cross-Connection Control and Hydraulic Research for that list.
