City-authorized inspectors have begun inspecting residential metered accounts in Mount Dora. The work is part of the City's backflow prevention program, and it reaches homes that have a residential water meter. This post covers what the City has published so far, who is responsible for the inspections, and what residents can do.
What is happening
The City of Mount Dora announcement states that City-authorized inspectors have begun conducting inspections of residential metered accounts. The inspections fall under the backflow prevention program, which the City describes on its Backflow Prevention page.
The information the City has published does not name specific streets, neighborhoods or dates for the visits. For that reason, this post does not guess at a schedule. Residents who want to know whether their account is part of the inspections should ask the contractor listed below rather than rely on word of mouth.
Who is responsible
The program belongs to the City of Mount Dora, and the day-to-day inspection work is handled by a contractor. The City identifies HydroCorp Inc. as its contract backflow inspection company, and the company can be reached at 844-493-7660.
The City's announcement sends residents with questions to the same place. It says to contact HydroCorp at 844-493-7660, ext. 5152, for questions or additional information. Using that extension on the call is the most direct way to reach someone about these inspections.
How to recognize an inspector
The City says that all inspection staff will carry City of Mount Dora identification badges. Anyone who sees a person at their property in connection with the inspections can look for that badge. If a resident is unsure about a visit, the phone number above is the place to ask a question about the program.
What residents can do
The City has not asked residents to attend a meeting or submit a comment. The practical steps are small:
- Look for a City of Mount Dora identification badge on anyone who says they are at the property for an inspection.
- Call HydroCorp at 844-493-7660, ext. 5152, with questions or to ask for additional information.
- Read the City's Backflow Prevention page for the program's own description.
- Read the full City announcement so you have the City's wording in front of you.
Neighbors who share a household with others, or who manage a residence for someone else, may want to pass the HydroCorp number along so that everyone who answers the door knows where to direct questions.
Keeping track of City information
The City publishes program details on its own website, so that is the best place to look for updates. Mount Dora Living is an independent community site and is not part of the City or its contractor, so it cannot answer account-specific questions or confirm whether a particular property is included.
For other local notices, the news page collects recent stories, and the residents page gathers everyday resources for people who live in Mount Dora. The quick reference page is another place to find common contact information in one spot.
