How To Pay for Your Backflow Test

Three Easy Ways to Pay

Payment is due upon completion of your test. We will submit test results to the city once payment has been received.

Pay With Venmo

The easiest way to pay! Simply send your payment to Twin Cities Backflow. Be sure to include your address in the payment notes so we can properly apply your payment.

Leave a Check or Cash at your Home

If you won’t be home, you may leave a check or cash in a clearly marked envelope or plastic baggie at your front door or near your backflow device. We’ll collect it after your test is completed.

Pay Us In Person During Your Test

If you’ll be home during your appointment, you can pay us in person by check, cash, or Venmo once the test has been completed.

As long as your backflow device is accessible, the water is turned on and the test cap is in place, we should be able to test your device within 20-30 minutes. Learn more about how to prepare for your appointment.
