BPA Testing
If you currently have a BPA in the city's program you will receive a letter every year to have your BPA(s) tested by a licensed tester (BPAT) registered with the city. Your letter will include a catalog number that has been issued to your address. This catalog number will be used by BPATs to enter the testing results on the web-based tool. Customers that would like to view or track the inspection results online at SC Tracking Solutions under the Free Public Access button and you can also look for a tester by clicking the Need a Service Provider button.
