Why Arlington Requires Annual Backflow Testing
Arlington runs its own Backflow Prevention Program to keep contamination out of the city's public water supply, and it's one of the stricter programs in North Texas. Every backflow prevention assembly in the city, residential and commercial, needs to be tested annually by a technician who's both TCEQ-certified and currently registered with the city. Arlington was also ahead of most Texas cities in prevention: since 2016, the city has required that backflow assemblies be installed immediately behind the water meter, and it actively monitors thousands of high-hazard sites, such as restaurants and healthcare facilities, every year through its own inspection network.
What that means for you: if your test lapses, or your report never makes it to the city, you're the one who's out of compliance, not your tester. We test your device, certify it, and submit your report directly to Arlington Water Utilities via Envirotrax® so there's no gap between the two.
Testing is due annually. Most Arlington property owners get a reminder from the city 30 days before their deadline.
