Clean, Clear Water!

Everyone wants clean, clear water but very few realize the risk that backflow can pose to your water supply.

What is Backflow?

  Backflow is an undesirable reversal of the flow in your plumbing system. Simply put, backflow results in non-potable water contaminating the fresh water supply and rendering drinking water unusable.

Properties most vulnerable to backflow are those that have cross connections to a sprinkler system and/or an in-ground pool. Changes in water pressure and other factors can cause the flow to reverse and potentially pull non-potable water into the water supply.
