Backflow Testing & Repair in Winter Springs, FL
Quick answer
TJ Backflow tests and repairs backflow preventers in Winter Springs, FL. The city runs its own water utility for city addresses, and a large share of Winter Springs lots have a separate irrigation meter — which means a second device, a second account and a second annual report. HOA common-area irrigation is its own account on top of that.
Winter Springs runs the length of 434 from 17-92 out to Oviedo, and most of it is irrigated subdivision: Tuscawilla, the Highlands, Oak Forest, Winding Hollow, the newer streets around the Town Center. That geography produces a specific kind of backflow work — lots with two meters, HOAs with common-area irrigation, and a Town Center commercial strip with the usual mix of domestic and irrigation assemblies.
The city has not published a residential self-testing program the way Longwood and Casselberry have, so annual testing here is done by a tester you hire, and the report goes to the city utility. Everything we do in Winter Springs is listed below.

A failed irrigation assembly alongside a healthy domestic one is the typical Winter Springs repair — rebuilt, retested, refiled.
What backflow work in Winter Springs actually involves
Two meters, two devices. A lot with a separate irrigation meter has a backflow assembly on it that is entirely separate from the one on the house. Each has its own account number and its own notice, and the city tracks them independently. The most common Winter Springs mistake is testing the domestic device and assuming the irrigation one is covered. We test both in one visit and file two reports.
HOAs are the second layer. Tuscawilla's associations and the other large HOAs have common-area irrigation on their own accounts, and those assemblies are the HOA's responsibility, not any homeowner's. We put HOA devices on an annual schedule so the board is not surprised by a notice, and we handle individual lots on request.
Winter Springs also runs reclaimed water in parts of the city. Where you are on reclaimed for irrigation, the device on the potable meter is the one the utility cares about, and the annual notice is the one not to ignore.

Winter Springs — FAQ
Do you work in Winter Springs, or just Sanford and Lake Mary?
All of Winter Springs, from the 17-92 end of 434 out to the Oviedo line. It is about twenty minutes from base and we are there most weeks.
How much does backflow testing cost in Winter Springs?
Per device, quoted on the phone. A two-meter lot is two devices; we tell you the total before we come, and there is no travel charge.
Can you test the HOA's common-area devices and my own on the same visit?
If the HOA has hired us, yes — same day, separate reports, since they are separate accounts. If the HOA uses someone else, we test yours and file it.
Which neighborhoods do you cover?
Tuscawilla, the Town Center, the Highlands, Oak Forest, Winding Hollow, Hacienda Village, Ranchlands — all of the city.
How soon can you come out?
Usually within the week. Tell us the date on your notice and we schedule to it.
I got two notices with two account numbers — is that a mistake?
Almost certainly not. One is your domestic meter and one is your irrigation meter, each with its own device. Both need testing. We do them together and file both.
Holding a notice? Call the tester.
Read us the notice. We tell you who it says should do the test, what it costs if that is us, and — if your city already tests for you — that you do not need us at all.
