What Can My City/Regulator Help Me With?

Your city/regulator owns all of the data within SwiftComply and they have the authority to add, delete, change, and update the data as they see fit. The general rule of thumb is if your question or concern is regarding the data in the system, you'll want to contact the regulator.

Here are some great examples of when you should reach out directly to the city/regulator:

Record Changes or Updates:

  • Adding/updating a location record

  • Updating an assembly record

  • Guidance on how to properly submit changes (new assembly, cleaning, etc). Each regulator may have a different preferred way of handling these.

  • Test report issues/questions

    • Rejected report(s)

    • Report(s) sent back to the tester

    • Failed test questions - (why is the system saying it failed?)

    • Cost of test reports

Tester/Admin Details:

  • Test kit calibration approvals

  • Backflow testing certification questions/concerns & approvals

  • Adding or removing a tester/admin user from an existing service provider

  • Updating user approval dates

  • Adding/updating an existing service provider company details

  • Adding/updating service provider contacts

Other:

  • Letters/Notice concerns

  • Questions/concerns about a location's compliance

What Can SwiftComply Help Me With?

Hot Tip: When reaching out to SwiftComply regarding the issues above, be sure to include all necessary information so our team can help solve the problem as quickly as possible. Here is the information that we require:

  1. Your Name and Service Provider Company

  2. The City/Regulator you're logged into, or attempting to log into

  3. A Screenshot of what you're looking at - especially if you're receiving any kind of message on the screen.

  4. Give us a Walkthrough of the steps you took to get where you are currently and what you were trying to achieve. For example, "I was trying to log into my account for Pristine Water. When I clicked "forgot my password" and entered my email address, I received a message saying that I don't have permission. I've attached a screenshot of the message". The more details you give us, the better we'll be able to understand what's happening and the quicker we can provide help.
