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