How Backflow Occurs

Many homes in Connecticut and surrounding states don’t have backflow preventers, but every home should. Here’s how backflow occurs:

  • break in a city water line can cause polluted water and other contaminants to enter the city water supply.
  • Line flushing and firefighting can produce the same harmful result.
  • Water systems that are supplied by wells or come in contact with untreated or contaminated streams or ponds also create potential backflow hazards.
  • toilet flush valve without an anti-siphon device can permit toilet odors, vapors and worse to get into household plumbing and the water you drink.
  • If a garden hose is used to clean out sewer lines or rain gutter downspouts, a drop in pressure can cause contaminants to be drawn back into your water supply.
  • Water used to fill a swimming pool can be drawn back into the water supply during pressure drops.
  • If an insecticide attachment is used on a garden hose, backflow can cause potentially lethal contamination of water supplies.

Did you know: If you currently have a fire sprinkler system, you already have a built-in backflow preventer. It is also a good idea to install a lawn sprinkler/irrigation system with a built-in backflow prevention. While pesticides may be good for your lawn and help beautify your home, they definitely are not something you want backing up into your home water supply.
