Backflow testing in Richland Hills: what to expect
Richland Hills is a small, older Northeast Tarrant city laid out along the rail corridor, now with a TEXRail commuter station that has drawn new interest to the Baker Boulevard area. Its housing is largely 1950s through 1970s, which means irrigation was almost always retrofitted years after construction. Those retrofits are the assemblies we test here, and many have never been serviced since the day they were installed.
Retrofit installations create practical problems. Devices end up mounted too low, tucked against a fence, or buried inside a planting bed, and a tester who cannot reach the test cocks cannot certify the assembly. Part of our standard Richland Hills visit is noting what needs to be raised or cleared so future annual tests are routine rather than an excavation project.
Commercially, Baker Boulevard and Handley-Ederville carry service businesses, small warehousing, restaurants, and retail with reduced pressure domestic assemblies, plus a handful of sprinklered buildings with fire line detector checks. Richland Hills keeps its own cross-connection records, and because it shares our Northeast Tarrant route with Watauga, NRH, and Haltom City, scheduling is quick.
Richland Hills compliance, handled for you
City of Richland Hills Public Works maintains its own cross-connection inventory and requires an annual passing report for each assembly on the property.
