Mount Dora begins residential backflow inspections
Mount Dora says city-authorized inspectors are evaluating residential metered accounts under its backflow-prevention program; affected customers will receive separate instructions.
What the record says
An October 21 city notice says Mount Dora has contracted with HydroCorp to conduct inspections and manage backflow-prevention compliance. Inspectors may access the exterior of properties to gather information about water service, irrigation systems and cross-connections. The city says all inspection staff will carry City of Mount Dora identification badges. Properties requiring an assembly or corrective action will receive a separate notice. Customers without a non-compliance notice may still be contacted about follow-up testing.

Practical next step
Read the city notice and follow any instructions addressed to your property. The notice lists HydroCorp at 844-493-7660, extension 5152, for questions.
Limits and what is not established
The notice describes a preventive inspection program, not a finding that drinking water is contaminated. It does not say every household needs corrective work or identify a universal customer deadline. The city states that residential irrigation backflow assemblies require annual testing; requirements for a particular property should be confirmed with the city or its contractor.
