What is Backflow?

Backflow is the undesirable reversal of the flow of water, or a mixture of water and pollutants, into the distribution pipes of your potable water system. It happens when a “cross connection” within the water system is reversed due to a pressure drop. When there is a pressure drop, contaminated water is drawn backwards into your water system.

What are Backflow Preventers?

Backflow preventers protect the city’s water supply from outside contamination by allowing water to flow in only one direction.
