  • Customers can add contact information such as phone and email.
  • Customers who elect to add email contact information may choose to have notices sent to their email address in addition to receiving the postcard notification.
  • Customers can view their backflow inventory, see the status of each backflow, and access and print their test reports.
  • Customers can search for NCWSA approved backflow testers from the Portal.
