Backflow

If you have any actual or potential cross connection to the City's potable water system, you are required to have a backflow prevention device installed and tested annually.

These backflow prevention devices are required to keep the water that passes through them and into the plumbing system beyond them from coming back into the water supply while protecting the quality and safety of the drinking water system.

Just like the individual parts of your car, backflow prevention devices have parts that can break down and wear out. Annual backflow tests can help to ensure the drinking water supplied to your home remains safe.

Read about the need for Backflow Testing from Payette, Idaho's webpage.
