Local answer

What to check for Talty

Talty SUD is especially strong on irrigation because the district ties permit, inspection, device selection, and annual hazard rules together on official pages.

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Program phone: 972-552-4422
Local signals

Signals that matter before you act

  • All new irrigation systems require a district permit before installation begins.
  • All landscape irrigation systems must use an approved inline testable backflow device.
  • If the property has an OSSF and the DCV fails, Talty requires replacement with an RPZ.
