Backflow Prevention

What is a Backflow Preventer?

A backflow preventer is a mechanical device installed on a water system to protect water from contamination. It allows water to flow in one direction, while preventing polluted or non-potable water from flowing backward into the public water supply.

Backflow preventers activate when there is a change in water pressure, such as during a water main break, fire suppression use, or heavy demand on the system. Without a backflow preventer, contaminants like chemicals, bacteria, or wastewater could be drawn into the potable water system.

These devices are required by most municipalities and must be routinely tested and maintained to ensure they are functioning properly and keeping water supplies safe and compliant
