What happens if my backflow device fails?

Modified on Fri, 13 Mar at 12:33 PM

If the backflow preventer fails the annual test, it must be repaired or replaced before a passing test can be submitted to the water authority. Failure typically means that one or more internal components have degraded to the point where the device is no longer providing adequate protection.
