Learn More About Backflow

Backflow is when contaminated water flows back into clean water lines, typically happening at points where clean and dirty water intersect due to fluctuations in water pressure. This can lead to hazardous substances like human waste, pesticides, or chemicals entering the clean water supply, posing health risks.

To prevent backflow, a safety device can be installed to stop contaminated water from infiltrating clean water lines during pressure changes. Proper installation and regular testing of these devices are crucial to maintaining water quality and effectiveness in preventing backflow.

Municipal regulations require annual testing of backflow prevention devices to confirm functionality. Failure to comply can result in fines or water supply interruptions. To avoid penalties and protect water quality, it is recommended to schedule testing well in advance.
