Did You Know?
Backflow Edition
🚿 Backflow can contaminate your drinking water with chemicals, bacteria, and waste.
It happens when pressure changes cause dirty water to flow backward into clean supply lines — often without warning.
🏡 Backflow isn’t just a commercial problem — homes can be at risk too.
Irrigation systems, boilers, and even garden hoses can cause contamination if not properly protected.
📅 Most municipalities require annual backflow testing — and you’re responsible.
If you own a commercial property or a home with certain systems, local regulations often require yearly certification by a licensed tester.
🔧 One faulty valve could impact the entire water supply.
Backflow prevention devices are small, but they play a big role in keeping your water — and your community — safe.
📑 Failing to test can lead to fines or water service disruption.
Staying compliant is easier (and cheaper) than fixing a contaminated system.
