What is a backflow assembly and why do I need one?
A backflow assembly is a mechanism that prevents back-siphonage of water. A backflow assembly ensures that no reuse water is accidentally introduced into the drinking water supply in the event of mistake in pipe connections or illegal hookups. Remember the reuse water and the drinking water systems are completely separate and should never be interconnected. The backflow assembly protects you and the rest of the City from possible cross connections. Backflow assemblies are required by the State of Florida.
