Why Keller requires an irrigation backflow test
Sprinkler heads sit in soil, fertilizer, and pet waste. If pressure in the Keller 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 Keller Public Works – Utility Division requires proof each year that it still works.
Where your assembly is and what we do
Most Keller 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 Keller
The most common failure we see in Keller 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 Keller Public Works – Utility Division and you are done for another year.
What irrigation backflow testing looks like in Keller
Keller irrigation testing covers both extremes: 2-inch multi-zone assemblies on large newer lots and small 30-year-old devices in Old Town. On the large systems the usual issue is a relief valve fouled with grit; on the old ones it is worn rubber and shutoffs that no longer hold. Where a well feeds any part of the system, the device class itself has to change.
Keller water authority: City of Keller Public Works – Utility Division
Keller buys treated water wholesale and distributes it through its own system, so the city keeps its own cross-connection records and issues its own annual notices. With large lots in Hidden Lakes and Marshall Ridge and older properties around Old Town Keller, irrigation assemblies here range from brand-new to 30 years old. We test, repair if needed, and file with Keller the same day.
We submit your passing irrigation backflow testing report directly to City of Keller Public Works – Utility Division — no paperwork on your end. City of Keller Public Works – Utility Division runs its own cross-connection program, so a passing report must be filed with Keller rather than a wholesale water provider.
