Testing in Greenville
The commercial corridors along Woodruff Road, Laurens Road and the Village of West Greenville carry a heavy concentration of assemblies, and multi-tenant buildings there routinely have more devices than the owner is aware of. Older neighbourhoods like the Earl Street Historic District and larger properties in Chanticleer tend to have irrigation assemblies that have been in the ground a long time.
Greenville Water requires the test to be made within 45 days of the scheduled due date. If it is not, they charge a one time 500 dollar non-compliance fee, hire a third party to complete the test and any repairs needed to bring the device into compliance, and apply that cost to your account. That is the reason we would rather hear from you early than on day 44.
We connect a calibrated test kit to the assembly and work the shutoffs in sequence to read the pressure differential across each check. Water to that line is off for a few minutes. Backflow assemblies are tested when they are installed, again after any repair, and at least once a year after that. That schedule is near universal across South Carolina purveyors. In Greenville that is Greenville Water.
If the device passes, we complete the report and file it. If it fails, it is repaired or replaced and retested first. See repair and replacement, or irrigation repair if the assembly sits on a sprinkler system that also needs attention.
