How Do I Become a Certified Backflow Tester in South Dakota?
Backflow Preventer Assembly Testing in South Dakota is not regulated by a state agency, so it is up to the local jurisdiction ( city, county, water purveyor ) to which certification programs they will accept. Sioux Falls and most if not all water purveyors indicate on their websites and directories that they accept ABPA third party exams, there may be additional registrations with the localities.
