We test Backflow Preventers! We can also install, repair, or replace any Backflow device. Testing the backflow devices on irrigation systems is a critical component of the safety of our water system. Back-pressure or back-siphonage can introduce contaminants into our drinking water supply if we don't maintain the integrity of these devices. If you've gotten a notice from DHEC, give us a call!

Regulations are administered at the state level (DHEC in SC.) The legal authority for this is provided through the State Safe Drinking Water Act. Water purveyors must implement and administer an ongoing program to prevent cross-connections. “The return of any water to the public water system after the water has been used for any purpose on the customer's premises or within the customer's piping system is unacceptable and opposed by The American Water
Works Association.” |
