Service Overview
Why Backflow Prevention Matters
Backflow occurs when water flows in the opposite direction from its intended path, potentially allowing contaminants to enter the public drinking water supply.
Backflow prevention devices are designed to protect the water system by preventing this reversal.
In New York City, properties subject to NYC Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) backflow prevention requirements must maintain compliant devices and complete required testing.
For many affected properties, annual backflow testing is a mandatory part of maintaining compliance.
