What is backflow Testing and why it’s required in San Diego
What is Backflow?
Backflow happens when water flows backward through your pipes, allowing contaminated water from irrigation systems, sprinkler, or industrial sources to enter our water supply. Without proper prevention, that water can contain chemicals, fertilizers, or bacteria, posing a serious health risk to your family or customers.
Why San Diego Requires Backflow Testing
The City of San Diego requires yearly testing for all properties with backflow prevention asemblies. This makes sure the system works correctly and protects the public water supply. If your property has irrigation, fire sprinklers, or commercial/multi-unit water lines, you probably have a backflow preventer that must be tested each year by a certified tester.
