Backflow testing in Forest Hill: what to expect
Forest Hill sits southeast of downtown Fort Worth where I-20 crosses Forest Hill Drive, and that intersection carries most of the city's commercial backflow load — retail, restaurants, fuel and convenience properties, small warehousing, and service businesses. Those services carry reduced pressure domestic assemblies, and the sprinklered buildings among them add fire line detector checks.
Churches, schools, and community facilities are a larger share of the work here than in most cities our crews cover. Those properties often have several assemblies at once — a domestic service, landscape or field irrigation, and a fire line — with different due dates and nobody on staff whose job is tracking them. We inventory the campus, align the dates, and hand over one organized packet each year.
Residential Forest Hill is modest and older, and irrigation is less universal than in north metro suburbs. Where devices exist they are often aging and undocumented, so a meaningful part of our job is simply locating the assembly from the meter and service line, testing it, and recording where it is so the next annual visit takes minutes instead of an hour.
Forest Hill compliance, handled for you
City of Forest Hill Public Works administers its own cross-connection control program and requires an annual passing report for each assembly on a property, including church and school campuses. We complete the state test-and-maintenance report on site and file it directly with City of Forest Hill Public Works, then email you a copy for your records.
