Backflow testing in Glenn Heights: what to expect
Glenn Heights straddles the Dallas and Ellis county line, and has grown quickly with new subdivisions on both sides of it. The city distributes water and keeps cross-connection records for its entire footprint, so the county line has no effect on where your report goes — a point worth making, because owners here often assume an Ellis County address must report somewhere else and then miss a deadline waiting for the wrong notice.
The new neighborhoods bring young irrigation assemblies that pass at a high rate and need nothing more than an annual test and a filing. The common problem is the builder's initial certification: homeowners reasonably assume it covers them, then get a notice about a year later. We explain the cycle and get that first annual test scheduled before it becomes a compliance issue.
On the Ellis County edge the character changes to acreage, and with it come wells, livestock water, and pond fill lines. Any of those auxiliary supplies puts the city connection in the high-hazard class, requiring a reduced pressure principle assembly. We assess that on site, explain it in writing, and keep pricing the same as everywhere else we serve — there is no trip minimum for a single device.
Glenn Heights compliance, handled for you
Glenn Heights keeps citywide records across both counties, so every report is filed with City of Glenn Heights Public Works — and acreage properties with wells or stock tanks require reduced pressure protection on the city service. We complete the state test-and-maintenance report on site and file it directly with City of Glenn Heights Public Works, then email you a copy for your records.
