Can businesses get a reclassification to low hazard that does not require them to install a backflow device?

Only small dry retail operations with one or two residential apartments above the retail space have been reclassified to a low hazard category. A low hazard category does not require a backflow preventer to be installed at this time. Currently, there are very few reclassifications being given out. If you are a small dry retail operation and do not fall into a category listed in schedule 5 of the bylaw, you could be considered for reclassification. Please contact the Backflow Prevention program at 416-394-8888 (Backflow Voicemail) or by E-mail: backflow@toronto.ca to discuss your facility with us.
