What to Do After a Failed Backflow Test

A failed result means the assembly did not meet the required performance standard at the time of testing. Common next steps are repair followed by retesting, or replacement followed by testing. Do not assume a repair alone closes the compliance item.

Apopka correction timeline

Apopka’s ordinance requires a failed assembly to be repaired and retested, or replaced, within 14 days. Commercial failures require immediate remediation. Follow the current notice and contact the City when a notice-specific question or extension is needed.
