Keep the two published document names intact
Bloomington’s official indexed page separately names a Backflow Prevention Assembly Test Report and Plumbing Field Survey Report. Direct access was blocked; neither attachment was read.
If you hold a document, keep its actual title rather than rename it to match a requested record. Retain dates or property references genuinely visible in your own copy, marking anything absent as unknown. Those suggestions concern your document; they are not a description of fields in the unread City attachments.
Ask which document question the proposed work depends on
Explain to City staff which named document you have, which record was requested and what physical irrigation or plumbing task is being considered. Ask whether clarification or a different record is needed before the proposed work depends on what that document establishes.
Keep identity and meaning separate. A familiar title does not prove that testing or repair occurred, while a differently named record should not silently be advanced to a completed test. Ask the appropriate professional to define the assessment or task it accepts without treating a document label as a diagnosis, compliance finding or complete work instruction.
Which two document names appear in Bloomington’s observed Backflow Program excerpt?
The observed names are Backflow Prevention Assembly Test Report and Plumbing Field Survey Report. The attached documents were not read.
Should I label a Plumbing Field Survey Report as a completed assembly test?
Keep its actual name and ask the City what it establishes. Do not infer a completed assembly test, result or repair from a survey title.

For a rented home, confirm who can authorize alterations. In a shared building, ask about access and work rules. A citywide construction period does not establish the age, condition or safety requirements of an individual home; check the property records and the specific project.
