Read the pattern
Inventory every connected system, device model, serial number, location, test tag, bypass, drain, pressure relationship, modification, and current notice before requesting work.
Decision terrace 16
Move from evidence to a bounded authorization
Hold the safety line
Do not bypass, remove, or substitute an assembly to restore flow. Relief discharge, contaminated connections, elevated piping, and pressurized equipment need safe access and correct isolation.
Place the Seattle boundary
SPU and Public Health have different but coordinated roles. The August 2026 reporting transition makes the live testing page the controlling source for certified tester and submission steps.
Write the visit
List the hazard, approved assembly, orientation, clearance, drainage, installer, permit, inspection, certified tester, initial and annual report, repair trigger, and maintenance access.
Keep the closing evidence
Retain the submitted test record, device and kit details, corrections, final valve positions, and next due date. Confirm report acceptance through the current system.
