Certified Backflow Testing for Residential, HOA & Commercial Properties

Fort Worth property owners are required to test their backflow prevention assemblies annually, and the Fort Worth Water Department no longer performs that testing. Hiring a certified tester is your responsibility. At Conserva Irrigation of Fort Worth, our certified technicians bring full irrigation system knowledge to every Backflow Testing appointment, so a failing device isn’t treated as an isolated problem.

Backflow Testing is a required part of annual maintenance for any irrigation system connected to a public potable water supply. We serve homeowners, homeowners associations, and commercial properties throughout Fort Worth and the surrounding area, including Arlington, Benbrook, and Southlake.

Irrigation Knowledge That Goes Beyond the Test

Our technicians are certified to inspect all components of the backflow device system and hold the additional irrigation license required for this work. That credential matters: property owners who hire a tester without proper certification can face compliance gaps that may put them out of good standing with the Fort Worth Water Department.

What separates us from a backflow-only tester is the irrigation system knowledge our technicians bring to every visit. If something related to your system needs attention, we can identify it during the same appointment rather than leaving you to schedule a separate call. Every service we provide is backed by our satisfaction guarantee.

Our conservation mission runs through everything we do. A properly functioning backflow preventer is part of a system that performs the way it should, and efficient irrigation practices can help customers reduce water usage across the board. We partner with Toro and Hunter for irrigation components and work with homeowners, homeowners associations, and commercial property owners alike.

When to Schedule Backflow Testing

The most natural time to schedule is in the spring, before turning your irrigation system on for the season. Pairing the test with system startup means one visit covers compliance and performance together. Our team is available to perform testing at any point during the year as your property requires.

Schedule Your Fort Worth Backflow Testing

Don’t let a compliance deadline catch you off guard. Our certified technicians are ready to perform Backflow Testing for residential and commercial properties throughout the Fort Worth area, and every appointment is backed by our satisfaction guarantee.

How Backflow Contaminates a Drinking Water Supply

Backflow occurs when a drop in water system pressure causes water to reverse flow from the property’s irrigation system back into the public water supply, a condition called back-siphonage. Because irrigation systems are designed to feed vegetation, they’re routinely exposed to pesticides, animal waste, fertilizer, and other outdoor contaminants. Without a functioning backflow preventer, those substances can enter the drinkable water supply.

When backflow does occur, the signs can include a drop in water pressure or discolored water. A backflow preventer stops contaminated irrigation water from reaching the home or building’s drinking water and is a necessary component of any irrigation system connected to a potable water supply, which is why the city requires annual testing.

Fort Worth Backflow Compliance Requirements

Under Fort Worth Ordinance 12274 and TCEQ 30 TAC Section 290.44, the city requires annual testing of all backflow protection assemblies on commercial property and all assemblies installed to protect against health hazards. The Fort Worth Water Department no longer conducts this testing, so property owners must hire a licensed Backflow Prevention Assembly Tester (BPAT) registered with the City of Fort Worth.

Testers must hold a current TCEQ backflow license and register annually with the Fort Worth Water Department. Once testing is complete, results must be submitted through Vepo LLC’s Envirotrax online system within 10 business days. Properties with auxiliary water sources such as private wells or rainwater harvesting systems face an additional requirement: a reduced pressure zone valve (RPZ) or an air gap must be installed at the meter per TCEQ standards.

What to Expect During a Backflow Test Visit

Our certified technicians inspect all components of the backflow device system, whether your property uses a pressure vacuum breaker (PVB) or a reduced pressure zone valve (RPZ). The PVB is common on residential irrigation systems; the RPZ is required where a higher hazard level applies, such as properties with auxiliary water sources.

If a backflow device fails the test, it can’t remain in service. It must be repaired or replaced and retested before compliance is restored. Because our technicians work across the full irrigation system, they can flag related issues discovered during the visit, giving you a clearer picture of your system’s condition from a single appointment.
