Backflow Protection

Backflow is the reverse flow of water caused by a sudden change in water pressure. This can happen during spring start-up or fall blow-out of your home sprinkling system. Water can pick up contaminants such as pet waste, E.coli, pesticides, or herbicides. A backflow device is a mechanical valve designed to prevent a reverse flow of contaminated water from entering your home water service and the public water supply. Backflow devices are required by law and should be inspected every year to keep your drinking water safe.
