Annual Backflow Testing
Backflow Testing is the annual (or as-required) inspection and certification of backflow prevention assemblies to ensure they are working properly and protecting the public drinking water supply from contamination and/or pollution.
Purpose
Backflow occurs when water flows backward through a connection, potentially pulling contaminants and/or pollutants (chemicals, bacteria, fertilizers, etc.) into the clean water system. Annual testing verifies that each backflow prevention assembly is functioning correctly and meets all regulatory standards.
When Backflow Testing is Required
Most commercial properties, restaurants, apartments, HOAs, schools, irrigation systems in Texas
Annual testing is mandated by TCEQ and your local water purveyor
After any repair, replacement, or major plumbing work
New installations must be tested before being placed into service
