Aledo Backflow Prevention measures are similar to those of most, if not all, cities, in the Greater Forth Worth area.  The size of the city makes no difference.  Backflow is too large a problem and it must be addressed, whether in a city the size of Aledo or one the size of Fort Worth.  For more information about your responsibilities regarding backflow testing, call (817) 400-9816.  That number will hook you up with City Backflow Testing, a trusted name in backflow testing and backflow permits.

Do you understand backflow?

In a perfect world, water flows from the Aledo water supply to your business or home by means of water pressure.  Hour after hour, day after day, year after year, when things are working normally, this flow of potable water continues unimpeded.  But there is the possibility for a major health concern, and that health concern is called backflow.

Backflow occurs when the water pressure from the City Water Supply suddenly drops. This could happen if there was a burst water main. This could happen if there was a major fire requiring several water mains opened for fire hoses.  If the water pressure drops too low, water flow will reverse, meaning contaminated water from your home or business will flow back towards the potable water supply.

This is backlow,  and obviously it is a situation which must be avoided.

And city regulations in Aledo and elsewhere address this need for backflow prevention.

Backflow preventers must be inspected each year.

And they must be inspected by an approved backflow prevention tester like City Backflow Testing.  If you go to the Aledo City webpage you will find the backflow city regulations; you will also find a form which must be filled out and filed with the city for every backflow prevention device inspected. This includes reduced pressure devices, backflow valves, pressure vacuum breakers, and others.  Those valves act as a sort of roadblock for backflow. They detect a sudden drop in water pressure and they shut down the flow of water as long as that pressure is reversed.  It is a brilliant engineering system, and one which must be maintained and upgraded to ensure that all citizens of Aledo can feel safe about using water from the city water supply.

Backflow devices must be inspected each year, and it is the job of the business owner to make sure that inspection happens on time.

Does this all seem daunting to you?  Never fear. At City Backflow Testing, we keep meticulous records for each of our customers. We notify them when their inspection is due.  We come out and check all backflow devices and if one needs repair or replacement, we only use government-approved parts for that repair or replacement. We then file the paperwork with the Aledo City Water Department to make sure you are recorded and in compliance with the law.

And we do all that at a very reasonable price!

There is a very short list of certified backflow testers on record in Aledo. City Backflow Testing is one of those trusted backflow testers, which is your assurance of professional-grade work each and every time you need City Backflow Testing.
