Backflow testing in Kennedale: what to expect
Kennedale is a city in transition, and its backflow inventory shows both halves of it. The Business 287 corridor carries Kennedale's older identity — auto-related businesses, salvage and equipment yards, welding and fabrication shops, and small industrial operations. Those are textbook high-hazard connections: coolant, parts washers, pressure washing, and process water all require reduced pressure assemblies with functioning relief valves.
The other half is newer residential growth on the east side of town toward Village Creek and Oak Crest, where subdivisions were built with irrigation from day one. Those devices are relatively young and usually pass, but homeowners often assume the builder's initial certification covers them permanently. It does not — the city expects an annual test every year after installation, and that misunderstanding is the most common reason a new Kennedale home falls behind.
Kennedale keeps its own cross-connection records and issues its own notices. We test the industrial and residential sides on the same south Tarrant route with Everman and Forest Hill, which keeps scheduling quick, and file passing reports with City of Kennedale Public Works the same day.
