The Importance of Backflow Prevention Devices
The Snake River Water District exists to bring clean and reliable water to its customers. One key part of that job is to be proactive about safety in the water system. Each year, we must ensure that cross-connections between our clean water and a customer's non-potable water does not cause a problem. The regulations require a special device to be installed to prevent a contamination. These devices must be tested annually, and reports are mandatory to the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment.
