Information about backflow testing

Since back-flow prevention devices are mechanical devices, they have the potential to fail. In order to ensure that the public water supply stays free of harmful chemicals and contaminants, certain properties are required to have back-flow prevention devices installed in their water systems.

These devices must properly function in order for them to fulfill their purpose. Therefore, New York’s law also requires that the devices be inspected on a yearly basis and tested for any possible failures that may threaten public health.
