KANSAS CITY TIP: Missouri certifies individual testers, not companies, so ask for your tester's name and look it up on the Missouri DNR certified tester list before you book. Check your water bill first: only KC Water customers file through kansascity.tokaytest.com, and many metro suburbs use a different water provider.

KC Water's Tokay online test submittal system (kansascity.tokaytest.com). Only Missouri-certified testers who have registered with the KC Water Backflow Office get a log-in, so your tester files the results for you. KC Water charges a transaction fee for each test submitted online: $1.50 per test when fewer than five tests are submitted, or $1.00 per test for five or more. Ask your tester whether it is included in the quote.
If you have a lawn sprinkler system, a fire protection line or any water service line in addition to your main line, you must have a backflow device, register it with the KC Water Backflow Division and have it tested every year by a Missouri-certified tester. KC Water mails a letter telling you when the test is due, and your tester must submit the results online within 5 days of the test. Only properties billed by KC Water (City of Kansas City, Missouri) file here; suburbs such as Independence, Lee's Summit, Liberty and Kansas City, Kansas have their own water providers and rules.
Non-Compliance Penalty
If KC Water has no test report by the due date, you get a reminder letter with 14 more days. If the report still isn't in and you haven't called the Backflow Division to arrange the test, your water is turned off and a $75 turn-off/turn-on fee is added to your account (Section 78-16). Service is restored only after a Missouri-certified tester calls the Backflow Office with the test date (or a current report is on file). The test must then be submitted within 7 days of the water coming back on, or service is cut again with another $75 fee.

Every food service facility in Kansas City (restaurants, daycares, schools, hotels, hospitals, assisted living centers and any business with a commercial kitchen or that sells food) must install an appropriately sized grease interceptor covering all dishwashing and food preparation drains (Sec. 60-132) and keep it working. Clean it on the manufacturer's schedule; if the manufacturer gives none, clean it when 25% of a vertical core sample is grease and solids. KC Water inspects food service facilities every two years.
Manifest & Hauler Rule
Keep records of every cleaning and maintenance visit for at least 3 years (Sec. 60-117): the date, who did the cleaning, how much waste was removed and the interceptor's condition. If you clean it yourself, also record where the waste went and any repairs or defects found. Inspectors may ask to see these records.
Violation Fines
KC Water says failing to follow the FOG rules can lead to service suspension and fines under the Kansas City Code. It does not publish a fixed fine amount on its FOG pages, so ask the Regulatory Compliance Division at (816) 513-0600 about your situation.

How we verify: a provider gets the green “Verified” tag only when we found the business on the water utility's or government agency's own approved tester or hauler list (the list and the date we checked it are shown on the card). 4 of 7 providers here have that check. Other listings come from the provider's own website and are not verified by us. Paid Featured placement never adds the Verified tag. Lists change, so confirm the tester's current certification with your utility before you book.

Direct answers sourced from KC Water (City of Kansas City, Missouri), Backflow Division and KC Water Regulatory Compliance Division regulations.
How often does my Kansas City backflow preventer need to be tested?
Every year, by a Missouri-certified tester. This applies to backflow devices on lawn sprinklers, fire protection lines and any extra water service line, and every device must be registered with the KC Water Backflow Division. KC Water mails you a letter when the test is due. Questions go to (816) 513-4795 or [email protected].
How is my backflow test filed with KC Water?
Your tester submits the results online through KC Water's Tokay system (kansascity.tokaytest.com) within 5 days of the test. Only certified testers registered with KC Water have log-ins. KC Water charges $1.50 per submitted test (or $1.00 each for five or more).
What happens if I miss my KC Water backflow deadline?
You get a reminder letter with 14 more days. After that, if no report is in and you haven't called to arrange a test, KC Water turns your water off and charges a $75 turn-off/turn-on fee. Water comes back only after a certified tester calls in a test date, and the test must be filed within 7 days or service is cut again with another $75 fee.
How often must a Kansas City restaurant clean its grease interceptor?
On the manufacturer's schedule, or, if there isn't one, when grease and solids make up 25% of a vertical core sample. Keep cleaning records (date, who cleaned it, amount removed and condition) for at least 3 years. KC Water inspects food service facilities about every two years; call the Regulatory Compliance Division at (816) 513-0600 with questions.
