Cedar Hill backflow prevention is quite similar to other backflow programs throughout the State of Texas, as you might suspect considering they all use the same guidelines for their regulations:

1. All backflow testers and inspectors must be registered with the City of Cedar Hill. Backflow certification is a must in all cities.
2. All backflow testing reports must be filed with the City of Cedar Hill
3. All new back flow prevention devices must be tested before installation by a licensed backflow tester, and their place of origin noted on the test report.

These are the three main requirements in preventing backflow for the City of Cedar Hill.  Let’s take a look at each with a little more depth.

Backflow testers must be registered with the city.

Not just anyone can conduct proper back flow testing.  It takes passing stringent state and local tests; it takes training; and it takes experience.  In the State of Texas, backflow inspectors must qualify for every individual city where they wish to license.  Considering the fact that some backflow testers are licensed in dozens of cities speaks to the fact that they are dedicated and highly-trained individuals.

Backflow reports must be filed with the city.

Backflow testing is required annually in the City of Cedar Hill, and reports must be filed annually.  There is the potential for a problem in this regulation, namely that the city may fail to remind commercial owners of their upcoming required testing (fines can and will be levied if the annual testing is not done), so having a backflow testing company which will keep good records and notify you of your upcoming requirements is always a good thing.

Backflow devices must be tested and place of origin noted.

As a second safeguard against backflow,  not only does an annual test have to be conducted, but all replacement parts must be tested and their place of origin must be noted.  In other words, only approved backflow preventers may be used for this important job.  Your licensed backflow testing company will know which devices are approved in Cedar Hill, so trust in a good testing company.

So there you have it.  If all three requirements are met, backflow will be prevented year in and year out in Cedar Hill, Texas.
