Is a permit required to rebuild or replace a backflow prevention device?

Rebuilds and replacements of backflow prevention devices must be completed by a certified technician, licensed with the City of Bel Aire. A permit, to be requested by the contractor, is required if the serial number changes, which is typically the case with a replacement, but not a rebuild. The certified technician shall test the backflow device and file test results after a rebuild or replacement of a backflow device.
