Backflow testing in Azle: what to expect
Azle wraps the northeast side of Eagle Mountain Lake, and lake water is the defining compliance issue in town. A great many shoreline and near-shore properties pump surface water for irrigation, and some keep wells as well. Either one is an auxiliary supply, and an auxiliary supply makes the city connection high hazard — which means the property legally needs a reduced pressure principle assembly, not the double check that would be adequate for municipal-water-fed irrigation alone. We assess the supply first and explain the requirement in writing.
Commercial Azle is concentrated along Highway 199 and includes a category most cities do not have much of: marine and RV service. Boat flush stations, wash bays, and chemical connections at those businesses are firmly high hazard, as are the auto shops, restaurants, and fuel pads along the same corridor. Many of those assemblies are older and have been weeping at the relief valve long enough that the owner assumes it is normal.
Residential work away from the water is ordinary irrigation testing on 1990s through 2010s systems, and school, church, and municipal campuses round out the route. Every passing report is filed with City of Azle Public Works the same day, with a copy emailed to the property owner.
Azle compliance, handled for you
City of Azle Public Works keeps the records, and lake or well supplies are treated as auxiliary sources here — those properties require a reduced pressure principle assembly on the city service rather than a double check. We complete the state test-and-maintenance report on site and file it directly with City of Azle Public Works, then email you a copy for your records.
