Put your mind at ease "Backflow Prevention"

Clean, clear water! We all want safe water in our homes and on our properties. One easy way to ensure that happens is to test your backflow devices regularly. It is important that each home and business has the proper backflow device to prevent the unlikely circumstance when water could possibly flow backwards into the municipal water supply.

Our goal is to help educate customers on how they can reduce the risk of contaminating our private and public water supplies. The main reasons to have your backflow device inspected and tested annually are:

* Requirement of local water authority
* Protect the health and well being of the public water supply
* Protect your residence or business

To guarantee the best quality of water is delivered to you, backflow devices are installed on properties that may have potential hazards, such as irrigation systems or in-ground pools, and have a greater chance of contaminating the water supply should the water flow suddenly reverse back into your home or business. To help minimize backflow problems and make sure you have clean water, we listed some quick easy tips:

1. Install a backflow device on your sprinkler system (if you do not already have one)
2. Install a backflow device on your water supply to meet your water company codes
3. Install hose bib vacuum breakers on all spigots
4. Never leave a hose in a bucket, pool or other containers of water
5. Have your device tested and inspected yearly to comply with your water district regulations
