| Annual Deadline Rule | Fort Worth requires annual testing of every backflow assembly on commercial property, and of every assembly installed to protect against a health hazard on any type of property. Assemblies must also be tested at installation, repair, and relocation. Testers must be licensed and registered with the City, and they submit reports online through Vepo's Envirotrax system. Fire sprinkler assemblies must be tested by a BPAT employed full time by a State Fire Marshal-licensed sprinkler company. |
| Non-Compliance Penalty | City enforcement for overdue or failed assemblies. New installations, relocations, replacements, and removals need a Plumbing Backflow permit, and incomplete or illegible test forms mean a failed inspection. |
