Annual testing, inspection and repair of all fire line backflow devices is required for cities in Texas under the jurisdiction of the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality. The purpose of this inspection and testing is to guard against a sudden decrease in water pressure, through the use of backflow preventers, which can potentially reverse the flow of water and contaminate the potable water supply.
City Backflow Testing is licensed to test and repair all fire line backflow devices by the State of Texas, and is also licensed in many of the individual cities in Texas, as required by law.
