What is Backflow?

Do you live or work in the city? You most likely get your water from a city muncipal plant. While its pretty rate that this happens, drinking water can be contaminated by raw sewage when backflow happens. Backflow is defined as the unhappy reversal of the flow of water (or mixtures of water) from any source back into the distribution pipes of the water system. It occurs as a result of a “cross-connection” within the water system in circumstances where there is a possible or actual connection between a potable water system and any other source or system. Becuase of this, state and municipal plumbing codes commonly require the installation of backflow prevention devices in most commercial buildings, and some residential buildings.
