we currently have 3 asse 5110 testers and adding 1 more in few weeks. All are licensed by the state and are qualified to test your backflow device.

The SPU Backflow Prevention and Cross-Connection Control Policy, established by the SPU Commission on March 21, 2022, outlines requirements to ensure the safety of Shakopee’s drinking water. As the water purveyor for the City of Shakopee, SPU is committed to protecting the distributed water system and requires uniform compliance from all customers with backflow prevention assemblies. To maintain the integrity of the system, annual testing of all backflow assemblies is mandatory, regardless of installation date. Shakopee Sprinklers are proud to support this policy by offering certified backflow testing services to help residents and businesses stay compliant.

An alternative to annual testing is to have the sprinkler system locked out. You can request Shakopee Public Utilities to lock up your backflow system for free and your sprinkler system will not work and your lawn may die. Unless you drag some hoses around water your lawn the old retro way.

$150 every year per there shakopee utilities website, we had a few customers that got a $150 x 2 in fall of 2024

All backflows hooked up to the city water system. For us it means home owners and businesses need to get a backflow test. If you have a sprinkler system hooked up to Shakopee City Supplied water then you need to get a Annual backflow test.
