CONFIRM TWO RECIPIENT ROLES
Minnesota DLI names authority and water-supplier roles. Ask which apply; this page is not a submission instruction.
Construction & Specialty Trades · FREE PREPARATION PACK
Minnesota backflow test-report recipient coordination workbook
A backflow report can involve more than one recipient, and sending a copy does not establish that every handoff is complete. This helpful preparation resource from PickYourPro.ai keeps one provider-supplied report reference beside separate recipient-confirmation notes and open questions. It helps a Minnesota building contact prepare a conversation with the provider and appropriate local contacts, without interpreting the test or deciding what rules apply.

Administrative preparation only. Not a test, technical review, water-safety assurance, repair guide, code interpretation, permit or submission instruction, required-record list, interval or deadline calculation, credential decision or legal advice. Do not operate, inspect or test equipment for this workbook. A sent copy, receipt or organized record does not establish technical acceptance or compliance. Keep readings, serial numbers, account details, private contacts and site-security information out.

How to use this resource
Start with an existing provider-supplied report reference, such as Report A, not test readings or device serial numbers. Minnesota DLI's backflow fact sheet identifies administrative-authority and community-water-supplier recipient roles. Ask the provider and appropriate local contacts which roles and instructions apply to your property; do not assume they are the same office or that this worksheet identifies a required submission. On page 1, keep a separate confirmation reference for each recipient role and the person responsible for clarifying it. On page 2, connect the same report version to each confirmed route, sent-copy reference and receipt response. Leave unknowns visible. If a corrected report is discussed, link the old and new references and ask which recipients need clarification. DLI's certification page and license-lookup page are separate official starting points for credential questions; the older fact sheet is not a substitute for current applicability guidance. Ask DLI or the relevant authority about uncertain requirements. Keep actual reports and private contact details in your established private process.

LINK EACH HANDOFF TO THE REPORT
Use the same report reference. Keep planned, sent and received separate; none establishes technical acceptance.
CHECK THE COORDINATION RECORD
Tick clarified items, not compliance. Ask the appropriate authority about requirements and applicability.
QUESTIONS FOR THE PROVIDER
Ask about report coordination. Do not use answers here as a technical test or a determination of legal duties.
COMPARE REPORT-COORDINATION SCOPE
Use Provider A and B. Compare support for the same questions, not test findings or presumed approvals.
USE IT RIGHT NOW
Commercial Plumbing preparation checklist
- Use one neutral report label and the version or date stated by the provider.
- Ask which administrative-authority recipient, if any, applies to this report.
- Ask separately which community-water-supplier recipient, if any, applies.
- Keep each recipient confirmation and instruction reference separate; do not assume a shared route.
- Identify who will clarify an unknown recipient or missing instruction.
- Distinguish a planned handoff, a sent copy and a recipient's receipt response.
- Link any discussed correction to the earlier report reference and recipient questions.
- Leave applicability and technical acceptance to the appropriate professionals and authorities.
Questions for the report-coordination provider
- Which report label and version should we use consistently in this handoff conversation?
- Who can confirm the administrative-authority and water-supplier recipient roles for this property?
- Where should each current recipient instruction come from, and who will clarify conflicting directions?
- Who is responsible for each agreed handoff, and how will sent copies and receipt responses be distinguished?
- If you issue a corrected report, how will the earlier reference and each affected recipient be identified?
- What report coordination, follow-up and open-item record are included, and what requires separate work?
Write down the answers and any exclusions. If two proposals describe different work, clarify the difference before comparing their totals. Leave unanswered points blank until the professional confirms them.
