Liberty Hill Outlines Backflow Prevention and Annual Testing Requirements

The City of Liberty Hill's Backflow Prevention page explains its program to protect the public water supply from cross-connections. It says annual testing applies to certain assemblies, and residential pool units require installation testing with further testing only recommended.

What to know

Annual testing is not universal: residential pool units require installation testing with further testing only recommended, and single-family irrigation systems without chemical injection or septic tanks are tested at installation and later at an interval the page does not specify. [1]

Liberty Hill requires backflow prevention assemblies wherever a connection could allow tainted water into the city system or private plumbing. [1]

Common required locations include swimming pool automatic refill lines, refill lines for garden ponds and decorative fountains, and landscape irrigation systems. [1]

Testing must be done by a tester holding a Texas Commission on Environmental Quality license. [1]

All BPAs on commercial, multi-family or HOA-POA systems must be tested annually. [1]
