When replacement is the right call in University Park
We recommend replacing an assembly in University Park when the body or bonnet is cracked from a freeze, the model is obsolete and rebuild kits are no longer produced, corrosion has pitted the seats, the assembly is the wrong size or type for the hazard, or repeated repairs are no longer economical. Newer assemblies are also easier and cheaper to test and rebuild going forward.
Code-compliant installation
We install USC-approved assemblies sized for your service and hazard level, set at the height and orientation City of University Park Utilities Division requires, with proper clearances for future testing. For irrigation we install double check and pressure vacuum breaker assemblies; for domestic and high-hazard applications, reduced pressure principle assemblies; for fire lines, DCDA and RPDA units. Freeze protection and insulated enclosures are available for exposed University Park installations.
Tested and filed before we leave
Every new assembly is tested immediately after installation, and we submit that initial report to City of University Park Utilities Division on your behalf. You get a copy for your records plus the due date for next year's test, and we can put your property on our annual reminder list.
What backflow replacements looks like in University Park
Replacements in University Park usually follow a teardown and rebuild, a freeze-cracked body, or an assembly so old that parts are no longer made. On small UP lots the bigger challenge is placement: the new device has to meet clearance and elevation requirements without ending up in the middle of a narrow side yard, so we plan the position with the homeowner and the landscaper before installing.
University Park water authority: City of University Park Utilities Division
University Park runs its own water system rather than buying retail from Dallas, and the city's Utilities Division tracks every irrigation and domestic backflow assembly inside the 3.7 square miles around SMU. Lots here are small but landscaping is heavily irrigated, so nearly every home on Hillcrest, Lovers, and Preston has a pressure vacuum breaker or double check that needs annual certification. We test, certify, and file directly with the city.
We submit your passing backflow replacements report directly to City of University Park Utilities Division — no paperwork on your end. University Park operates its own water utility, so passing reports must be filed with the City of University Park Utilities Division rather than Dallas Water Utilities.
