Michael A. Jones

My residential backflow preventer failed the BWA test. Luke and Aidan repaired and tested my backflow preventer. They arrived on-time the same day I made the appointment. Their work was OUTSTANDING!! Luke reported the repair and passed test to BWA satisfying and clearing my failed test report. I could not be more pleased with their professionalism and expertise. I strongly recommend Advanced Backflow Solutions for any and all backflow preventer work.

From the moment I scheduled my appointment, everyone was kind, professional, and easy to work with. The technician arrived on time, was very friendly.. not to mention handsome too!! And made sure I understood what was being done without making me feel overwhelmed. You can tell they genuinely care about providing great service and treating their customers with respect. Thank you ABS :)

We recently used the services of Advanced Backflow Solutions. They worked around our schedule, arrived on time, were competitively priced, and they tested our irrigation back-flow system. The tech was neat, very presentable, wore a shirt with the company logo, introduced himself and was very professional. Everything was seamless, online invoicing and they even filed the necessary paperwork with our City, saving us time and money.

We know Arlington Businesses

Arlington sits between Fort Worth and Dallas as one of the largest cities in Texas, home to AT&T Stadium, Globe Life Field, and a thriving commercial corridor along I-20 and Division Street. With a population exceeding 390,000, the city's mix of entertainment venues, shopping centers, and established residential neighborhoods generates significant demand for backflow prevention services.

From the entertainment district near the stadiums to the quiet tree-lined streets of south Arlington, properties across the city rely on properly functioning backflow devices. Arlington Water Utilities enforces annual testing requirements, and our team helps property owners stay compliant without the hassle. We service both the older neighborhoods near UTA and the newer developments on the city's eastern and western edges.

Questions & Compliance

Does my business in Arlington need annual backflow testing?

Yes. Arlington requires annual backflow testing for all commercial properties, fire sprinkler systems, irrigation connections, and any property with a cross-connection. This is mandated by city Ordinance No. 09-058 and enforced through Arlington Water Utilities.

How long does a backflow test typically take?

Most backflow tests take 15-30 minutes per device. The actual duration depends on the type and number of assemblies being tested, but we work efficiently to minimize any disruption to your business operations.

What happens if my backflow device fails the test?

If a device fails, it must be repaired or replaced by a licensed backflow technician, then retested to ensure proper operation. We can handle the repair and retest, then submit the passing report to Arlington Water Utilities on your behalf.

Do you submit the compliance paperwork to the city?

Yes. We file all passing test reports directly through Arlington's Envirotrax online reporting system, which automatically updates your compliance status with the city and removes your property from the delinquent list.

Do I need to be on-site during the testing?

Not necessarily. As long as we can access the backflow assembly (typically located near your water meter), we can complete the test. Many property owners provide access instructions and receive the completed report electronically afterward.

What types of backflow devices can you test?

We test all backflow prevention assemblies required by Arlington: reduced pressure zone devices (RPZ), double check valve assemblies (DC), pressure vacuum breakers (PVB), spill-resistant vacuum breakers (SVB), and atmospheric vacuum breakers (AVB). This covers commercial buildings, fire systems, irrigation, and industrial applications.

City Program & Ordinances

Arlington operates one of the most advanced cross-connection control programs in Texas under city Ordinance No. 09-058. The program monitors approximately 3,000 high-health hazard sites annually and requires annual backflow testing for all commercial properties, fire sprinkler systems, irrigation connections, and any facility with a potential cross-connection to the public water supply. In 2025, Arlington became the sole recipient of the TCEQ Outstanding Cross-Connection Control Program Award and one of only two water systems statewide (out of 7,000) to receive the Outstanding Public Drinking Water System Award.

Testing & Reporting Requirements

All backflow test reports must be submitted through the Envirotrax online reporting system, which replaced Arlington's legacy compliance platform in 2025. The system currently has 377 registered testers and provides real-time compliance tracking for property owners and the city. This digital infrastructure ensures immediate reporting and transparency, helping businesses stay compliant with both local ordinances and the state mandate under 30 TAC 290.44.

Enforcement & Penalties

Arlington enforces its backflow requirements with fines up to $2,000 per violation and the authority to terminate water service for persistent non-compliance. The city adopted a 2016 engineering standard requiring backflow assemblies to be installed immediately after the water meter, a policy developed after surveying 1,220 engineers across the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex.

Property Owner Responsibilities

Arlington's water infrastructure serves a population of 400,000+ with water sourced from the Tarrant Regional Water District. The system includes the Pierce-Burch Water Treatment Plant (75 million gallons per day, currently undergoing a $112.5 million renovation) and the John F. Kubala Water Treatment Plant (97.5 million gallons per day). With over 3,000 miles of underground distribution pipes and more than $6 billion in water infrastructure, the city's cross-connection control program protects a critical resource that also supports the entertainment district drawing 15.6 million visitors annually.
