Press Release
City of Aspen partners with Backflow Solutions, Inc. (BSI Online) to enhance water safety program
Aspen, CO - The city of Aspen’s Utilities department has partnered with Backflow Solutions, Inc. (BSI Online), to implement an enhanced cross-connection control and backflow prevention program. In accordance with state regulations, this initiative is designed to protect Aspen’s potable water supply by ensuring that all backflow prevention assemblies are tested and maintained annually.
Initial notifications regarding your backflow assembly testing will now come directly from BSI. Backflow assembly testers will also be required to submit test results online via BSI’s system. Residents must continue to schedule their annual backflow assembly tests by contacting their preferred certified backflow testers.
Testing companies must have one or more of the following certifications: ABPA Certification or ASSE Certification. Additionally, testers must have a current annual test gauge calibration record, and if applicable, must have a valid Colorado Fire Suppression Contractor License.
Contractors are encouraged to update their contact information on their BSI profiles to receive timely notifications. New BSI users will be required to create a profile, upload credentials (including licenses and test gauge calibrations), and establish an administrative user.

The city of Aspen remains committed to delivering safe, high-quality water to our community. By partnering with BSI Online and adhering to stringent testing protocols, we are taking proactive steps to protect our water resources from the dangers of backflow contamination.
