Backflow and the harmful effects
Backflow takes place when the flow of contaminated liquid reverses and mixes with clean or "potable" water. This generally occurs in or between the public water system and a consumer's potable water system.
Backflow can make water unusable or unsafe to consume. The reversal of contaminated liquids can place pollutants, pesticides, and other harmful agents in the water supply and the aquifer.
Backflow Prevention
A Backflow prevention device is used to protect water supplies and the aquifer from contamination.
All community and certain non-community water systems such as agriculture, car washes, laboratories, premises with boilers, pools, irrigation systems, or fire protection systems must comply with Washington State backflow prevention requirements.
Kyron Environmental assists communities and businesses with the sole aim of protecting our drinking water and the aquifer.
