What to check for Talty

Use this page when the assembly already failed and the next step is repair, retest, and accepted report submission.

  • Due basis: Talty SUD says irrigation assemblies are tested upon installation and the test form must be provided to the district office. The district also requires annual testing for assemblies protecting against a health hazard and for all commercial properties regardless of health hazard, with test results due by either May 1 or November 1 depending on the cycle.
  • Notice or device clue: Look for the utility name, service address, assembly serial number, account or notice ID, and due date.
  • Who is affected: Irrigation systems, commercial properties, properties with onsite sewer facilities or septic systems, and customers served by Talty Special Utility District who have testable backflow assemblies.
  • Acceptance rule: Report acceptance depends on the named portal and the utility-approved tester route; keep proof that the report was submitted.
  • Program phone: 972-552-4422

Local signals

Signals that matter before you act

  • Talty treats OSSF properties as health hazards and requires RPZ protection, which can turn a failed DCV into a replacement project instead of a simple retest.
  • The district uses hard deadlines and says missed results can lead to disconnection of service.
  • A tester can be licensed and still unusable for the job if they have not registered with the Talty office.

City FAQ

Talty questions before you act

What should I do after a failed backflow test in Talty?

Talty treats OSSF properties as health hazards and requires RPZ protection, which can turn a failed DCV into a replacement project instead of a simple retest.

Does a failed test still need report submission in Talty?

Report acceptance depends on the named portal and the utility-approved tester route; keep proof that the report was submitted.

Who controls the rule for Talty?

Talty search demand is routed to Talty Special Utility District Backflow Testing. Irrigation systems, commercial properties, properties with onsite sewer facilities or septic systems, and customers served by Talty Special Utility District who have testable backflow assemblies.

What costs or fees should I expect for Talty?

Private testing price is market-based, but Talty layers permit and compliance deadlines around the work. Repair and retest cost can jump if an OSSF property has to replace a failed DCV with an RPZ instead of repairing in place. Talty's published paperwork also shows a $50 tester registration fee and a $195 irrigation permit and inspection fee, which helps explain why district jobs can feel heavier than a simple plumber visit.
