How to Submit a Backflow Report
HOW TO SUBMIT A BACKFLOW REPORT
Google Chrome is the browser that best supports TCE.
Step 1: Login to TCE using your username (your email) and password and select the "Enter Report" icon.
Step 2: Upon selecting the "Enter Report" icon you will be prompted to select the AHJ you are submitting your backflow report to.
Step 3A: Enter the backflow serial number to begin the report.
Step 3B: If the backflow is new, select "Don't Have Serial Number?" and type in the premises address you are submitting a backflow report for.
Step 4:
A: If you would like to use an internal reference number for your customer, type it here (this number cannot be changed). In the future, you will have the option to search for this premises using the Company Reference Number, rather than the premises address or name.
B: Select the inspector who performed the work.
C: Select the report template. Click on the downward arrow and select the template you would like to use. S = Short, which requires an attached copy of your inspection/test report. L = Long, which is data entry and does not require an attachment.
D: Select the Inspection Date
E: Enter the Test Kit used.
F: Select the Inspeciton Time the test was done at.
Step 5: Choose the backflow that you performed the inspection
on, then click continue. Scroll down and select "Continue."
Step 6: The Inspection Report will now be created in TCE. Check the information populated and then scroll down the page to submit the report.
Step 7: List each deficiency in a separate row (if you have one deficiency, you’ll have one row; if you have 32 deficiencies, you’ll have 32 rows). Click on “Add a row” on the left side of the screen if you need more than two rows. These deficiencies will appear exactly as you type them on the report sent to the Fire Marshal and the notice sent to the premise, so be mindful of grammar and spelling, and be as specific as you can.
Step 8: If the report is accurate and complete, click “Submit to AHJ.” If you’ve made a mistake and need to start over, click “Delete.” If you’re interrupted and want to save the report and finish it later, click “Save and Review.” You can also print a copy by clicking on “PDF.”
