StamparioTexas backflow test report, TCEQ-20700 layout
Every public water system in Texas uses the same test and maintenance report, TCEQ-20700. This layout has its fields in the same order and with the same wording, so you can fill it at the assembly and print it for your signature.

What the layout records
The water system’s name, PWS ID, mailing address and contact. Then the assembly: type (RPBA, RPBA-D, DCVA, DCVA-D, PVB or SVB), manufacturer, model, serial and size for the main and the bypass, location, what it serves and the reason for the test. Two yes/no questions follow: installed per manufacturer and local code, and installed on a non-potable supply. The readings come next (check valves, relief valve, Type II bypass check, air inlet), then repairs and the test after repair. It ends with the gauge (potable or non-potable, serial, date tested for accuracy), your BPAT license number and its expiration date.
How filing works in Texas
TCEQ’s instructions allow the form to be filled electronically during the test. The water system still needs a printed original signed by the licensed tester, unless it uses electronic records approved by TCEQ, and many Texas utilities take reports through a portal. Ask your water system what it accepts. Either way, the customer gets the same report by email and you keep the history by address.
Keep the official form when it is required
This is a working copy built from TCEQ-20700’s published field list, not an official TCEQ document. If your water system asks for the TCEQ form itself, file that and give the customer this copy.

About this template
Is this the official TCEQ form?
No. It has the same fields in the same order, and it isn’t produced or endorsed by TCEQ. Each water system decides what it accepts, so check with yours.
Does it handle Type II assemblies with a bypass?
Yes. Choosing RPBA-D or DCVA-D adds the bypass manufacturer, model, serial and size, the bypass check reading and the bypass repair line.
How long do I keep test records in Texas?
The form’s footnote cites at least three years (30 TAC §290.46). Reports in the app are kept and searchable by address and assembly.
