Certified Backflow Testing That Protects Your Water & Your Irrigation Investment

Irrigation systems in Riverview are open to everything applied to the landscape: fertilizers, pesticides, animal waste. A backflow preventer, either a pressure vacuum breaker (PVB) or reduced pressure zone valve (RPZ), is the barrier that stops those contaminants from reversing into your property’s clean water supply. At Conserva Irrigation of Southeast Tampa, we handle backflow testing as part of a broader irrigation and water conservation practice, so compliance and system efficiency come from a single certified team.

We serve residential homeowners and commercial properties, including homeowners associations, throughout Riverview. Each of our technicians are certified to inspect all components of your backflow device system, and we integrate that testing with the environmentally conscious irrigation services that define our work. This isn’t a one-visit compliance stop. It’s a relationship built around protecting both your water quality and your irrigation investment.

Annual Backflow Testing Requirements in Hillsborough County

Riverview is an unincorporated community served by Hillsborough County Water Resources. That means the compliance framework governing your backflow preventer comes from the county, not a separate municipal water authority. Under Hillsborough County requirements, any property with a backflow assembly must have it tested annually by a registered, certified tester. The county’s rules align with Florida Administrative Code Rule 62-555.360, the statewide cross-connection control standard administered by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection.

Our certified technicians perform regulated testing procedures that verify every component of your backflow preventer meets performance and safety standards. Annual testing:

Satisfies the Hillsborough County requirement for annual inspection by a registered certified tester
Identifies worn components, pressure irregularities, or device failures before they compromise water safety
Flags cross-connection vulnerabilities that could allow pesticides, animal waste, or fertilizer to enter your water supply
Produces documentation submitted through Hillsborough County’s Backflow BMP portal on your behalf

If a device fails a test, Hillsborough County must be notified within 48 hours, and the preventer must be repaired or replaced before retesting. We handle the reporting process for you so nothing falls through the cracks. Only a tester registered with Hillsborough County can legally conduct this test, and backflow testing requires an additional irrigation license beyond a standard irrigation contractor license. Our technicians carry both.

Backflow Prevention & Water Conservation Working Together

Proper backflow prevention and efficient water use aren’t separate goals. A failed or missing preventer can compromise your entire irrigation system’s performance, allowing contaminated water to cycle back and undermining the conservation practices that protect both your lawn and your water bills. At Conserva Irrigation of Southeast Tampa, we integrate backflow testing with our irrigation services to help Riverview property owners reduce water usage by up to 60% without sacrificing lawn health.

Staying current on annual maintenance of your irrigation system also helps reduce financial risk. Skipping a required test can result in fines or water service suspension from Hillsborough County, and deferred maintenance on a backflow preventer often means a more expensive repair when the device eventually fails. We back our work with a satisfaction guarantee and provide clear documentation after every test, so you know where your system stands.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Is Backflow, & Why Is It Dangerous?

Backflow is the reverse flow of water from an irrigation system back into your clean water supply. Because sprinkler systems feed vegetation, they’re exposed to fertilizers, pesticides, and animal waste. If pressure conditions allow that water to reverse, those contaminants can reach your home’s water. You may notice a drop in water pressure to your home or discolored water as warning signs, but often there’s no visible symptom at all.

How Often Does My Backflow Preventer Need to Be Tested?

Hillsborough County requires annual testing of all installed backflow prevention devices by a tester registered with the county. Regular testing also catches worn components before they cause a failure that requires full device replacement.

What Happens During a Backflow Test?

A certified technician isolates your backflow prevention device, then checks valves, gauges, and pressure readings to confirm the assembly is blocking reverse flow as designed. After testing, Conserva Irrigation of Southeast Tampa provides a written report outlining your system’s condition and any maintenance or repairs needed. If the device fails, we notify Hillsborough County within the required 48-hour window and coordinate next steps.

What Regulations Apply to Backflow Prevention in Riverview?

Riverview is an unincorporated community, so backflow testing requirements come from Hillsborough County Water Resources, not a separate Riverview municipality. The county’s requirements operate under Florida Administrative Code Rule 62-555.360, and property owners must document a passed annual test through the county’s Backflow BMP portal each year. We handle that submission for you.
