What to check for Southlake

Southlake's page uses irrigation-type cross-connection examples, but the compliance action still turns on whether the property has a tracked assembly and annual City record.

  • Due basis: Southlake says backflow prevention assemblies must be tested annually, and customers who receive a City letter can search VEPO records or use a registered tester.
  • Notice or device clue: Look for the BPAT/tester registration context, Envirotrax record, service address, or assembly identifier.
  • Who is affected: Southlake properties with backflow prevention assemblies, especially customers receiving annual letters and fire protection sprinkler systems.
  • Acceptance rule: Report acceptance depends on the named portal and the utility-approved tester route; keep proof that the report was submitted.
  • Program phone: 817-748-8082
