How to file your backflow test report
City of Houston District 73 takes backflow test submissions through SwiftComply. Testers enter each test in the portal themselves — no bulk upload exists for any portal vendor — so BackflowGo preps your re-key sheet (every value in the portal's entry order) and routes you to SwiftComply to file.
FEES · Tester pays for PASSING tests only (typically $5–$15, set per utility; Stripe or prepaid balance).
DEADLINE · City of Houston requires upload within 2 business days of the test.
- Registration is per-utility via the link in the utility's welcome email; certifications and gauge calibrations must be uploaded and approved first.
- Find the assembly by serial number or address, enter readings, then Save & Submit — the report sits at 'Pending Payment' until paid.
- One login can cover multiple SwiftComply cities once each has approved you.
