Loudoun County Backflow Testing


Attention Loudoun County customers -

Dear Loudoun County Resident,
All Loudoun County homes and businesses with lawn sprinklers are required by law to have their backflow device certified yearly and the results provided to Loudoun Water. Many of you may have already received a letter requesting this year’s certification. Hydro-Tech Irrigation Co. is proud to introduce our new service of providing testing, repairs and replacements of all makes and models of backflow devices.
Hydro-Tech Irrigation Co. is fully licensed, bonded and insured with a staff of trained professionals to provide you with timely service and the utmost quality. Your test results will be sent directly to Loudoun Water and a copy provided for your records. Hydro-Tech will contact you promptly if your backflow device requires service. And repairs can usually be done immediately.
Frequently asked questions:
• How much does it cost? Residential backflow devices up to 1” in size can be tested for $55.00.
• Where is my backflow device? Most residential backflows are located on the outside of your home.
• What if I don’t have a city water connection? Loudoun County requires all lawn sprinkling systems including those connected to house wells to have an approved backflow device.
• What if my backflow is for something other than lawn sprinkling? Hydro-Tech is licensed to service and test all backflow devices regardless of application.
• Will I need to be home during testing? Hydro-Tech only requires access to the backflow device to test or service it. It is required that the water be turned on to the device.
• What does a backflow look like? At the top is a picture of the most common device:
