What Is a Backflow Prevention Device?

A backflow prevention device is a plumbing component designed to prevent dirty or hazardous water from flowing backward into the public water system. This process, called backflow, can happen when water pressure drops suddenly, causing contaminated water to be drawn into clean water lines.

Backflow can occur due to:

• Water main breaks
• Fire hydrant usage
• Irrigation system malfunctions

Without a backflow prevention device, dangerous substances such as fertilizers, sewage, and chemicals could enter the clean water supply, leading to serious health hazards.

Where Backflow Prevention Is Required in Florida

In Lee County and Collier County, backflow prevention devices are required by law for:

• Irrigation systems
• Commercial buildings
• Multifamily properties
• Any structure connected to the public water system where a cross-connection risk exists
