What Is Backflow Testing?
A backflow prevention device helps protect your drinking water from contamination. These devices are commonly installed on irrigation and sprinkler systems to prevent water from flowing backward into the public water supply.
Many municipalities and water providers require periodic testing of backflow prevention assemblies to ensure they are functioning properly and protecting the water system.
Do I Need Backflow Testing?
You may need backflow testing if:
- You have an irrigation or sprinkler system.
- Your water provider requires annual testing.
- You have received a notice from your city or water utility.
- You are installing a new irrigation system that requires a backflow prevention device.
Requirements vary by municipality and water provider, so it’s always best to verify the specific requirements for your area.
