Why Forest Hill requires an irrigation backflow test
Sprinkler heads sit in soil, fertilizer, and pet waste. If pressure in the Forest Hill main drops — a hydrant flush, a water main break — water can be siphoned backward out of your yard and into the drinking water system. The backflow assembly on your irrigation line prevents that, and City of Forest Hill Public Works requires proof each year that it still works.
Where your assembly is and what we do
Most Forest Hill homes have a double check or pressure vacuum breaker assembly near the water meter, in a green in-ground box, or above ground close to the house. Our technician isolates it, tests each check with calibrated gauges, notes the results, and restores the system. You do not have to be home — just leave the gate unlocked or send a gate code. On-site time is typically 20 to 30 minutes.
Freeze damage and failed assemblies in Forest Hill
The most common failure we see in Forest Hill is a cracked bonnet or split body from a hard freeze, followed by debris fouling a check. We carry common irrigation parts, so a failed test often becomes a same-visit repair and re-test. Once it passes, we submit the report to City of Forest Hill Public Works and you are done for another year.
What irrigation backflow testing looks like in Forest Hill
Irrigation testing here is a mix of older residential devices and larger assemblies serving church lawns, school grounds, and athletic fields. Field systems move much more water and foul their relief valves faster; residential retrofits usually fail on worn first-check rubber. Most of both are rebuildable.

Forest Hill sits southeast of downtown Fort Worth along I-20, and its backflow work is split between modest residential irrigation and the commercial and industrial properties on the Forest Hill Drive and I-20 frontage. Churches, schools, and community facilities add domestic and fire line assemblies. The city administers its own cross-connection control program and requires an annual passing report on each device.
