Understanding Backflow:

Backflow occurs when water flows in the reverse direction from its intended path. It’s typically associated with cross connections, where potable and non-potable water sources intersect. For example, a cross-connection might exist if your property receives both drinking water and water for irrigation from the same source.

Common causes of backflow include:

Backpressure: Increased pressure in non-potable water sources can force water back into the drinking water supply.
Back siphonage: This occurs when negative pressure in the water system causes a reversal of flow.
Sewerage pipe damage: Damage to sewerage pipes can lead to contaminants flowing back into the water supply.
Local source damage: Damage to non-potable water sources can result in contamination of the drinking water.

Preventing Backflow:

Effective backflow prevention requires annual inspections and the installation of appropriate devices to mitigate the risk of contamination. Backflow prevention devices are designed to keep water flowing in one direction, preventing the reverse flow of contaminated water into the drinking water supply.

Backflow Prevention:

We understand the importance of backflow prevention in Orillia and the surrounding area. Just as it’s crucial in Toronto, it’s equally important here. Many municipalities, including Orillia, require specific properties to have backflow prevention devices in place.

Regular testing is an essential part of backflow prevention. After device installation, initial testing is required, followed by annual testing to ensure continued effectiveness. Property owners must maintain records of site surveys and testing, submitting annual reports to the municipality.
