Backflow testing requirements in University Park
City of University Park Utilities Division requires every backflow prevention assembly in University Park to be tested at least once each year by a licensed backflow assembly tester. That includes irrigation double-check and pressure-vacuum breaker assemblies, domestic reduced-pressure assemblies feeding buildings, and fire line detector checks. The test verifies that the assembly still closes under reverse pressure so contaminated water can never siphon back into University Park's drinking water supply.
What a University Park backflow test looks like
A licensed technician arrives with calibrated test gauges, isolates the assembly, records the differential pressure across each check valve and the relief valve, then restores service. On-site time is normally 20 to 30 minutes and you do not need to be home — we only need access to the assembly, so an unlocked gate or a gate code is enough. If the assembly passes, we complete the state test-and-maintenance report and submit it directly to City of University Park Utilities Division. If it fails, we tell you exactly which component failed and quote the repair before doing any work.

What backflow testing looks like in University Park
A typical University Park test is a short, quiet visit: we park without blocking the alley, isolate the assembly in the side yard or easement, run the differential test, and restore service in about 20 minutes. Because UP keeps its own records, we confirm the service address matches the city's list before we file — teardown-rebuild streets frequently carry a stale address record from the previous house.
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 testing 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.
