Be A Good Neighbor & Help Protect The Water System
Under ideal conditions, pipes are a one-way system. Clean water flows in through your water lines and out through your sewer lines. But sometimes quirks emerge that cause sewage or dirty water to head in the wrong direction. If left unchecked, it can lead to a major health crisis in the community.

Backflow Testing FAQs
Yes, regulations often require backflow testing to protect public water systems from contamination. Most municipalities have local or state laws mandating annual testing of backflow prevention devices, particularly in commercial properties and homes with irrigation systems or pools, which pose higher contamination risks. Certified professionals typically perform these tests to ensure compliance. Failure to adhere to these regulations can lead to fines and potential water service interruptions. Check with your local water authority to understand specific testing requirements in your area.
Backflow testing should typically be performed annually to ensure the backflow prevention device functions correctly and protects against potential contaminants entering the water supply. High-risk properties, such as those with irrigation systems, pools, or chemical systems, may require more frequent checks, depending on local regulations and water authority guidelines. Regular testing by a certified technician helps maintain water safety and compliance, reducing the risk of contamination. Always check with your local water authority for specific testing frequency requirements in your area.
