Why do I have to have a backflow prevention installed?

Backflow preventers are installed in accordance to WAC 246-290-490, in order to protect public drinking water from potential contamination.

Backflow preventers must be tested annually in accordance to WAC 246-290-490, to ensure the public drinking water remains safe from potential contamination.

Backflow is undesirable reversal of water flow in a plumbing system, where non-potable or contaminated water flows backward into the clean water supply due to pressure changes. This occurs through 2 pressure events, back-pressure or back-siphonage and poses serious health risks to the community connected to the public water supply.
