Compliance

Bellevue Utilities enforces annual backflow assembly testing through a progressive notification process: a first letter gives 30 days to comply, a second letter follows if there's no response, and a third letter warns of enforcement action under Bellevue City Code 1.18 — which can include requiring premises isolation or water service termination. Bellevue's drinking water comes from Seattle Public Utilities through the Cascade Water Alliance, so protecting against cross-contamination is taken seriously at both the city and regional level. For full program details, visit the Bellevue Utilities backflow prevention page at bellevuewa.gov.
