Great Neck Backflow Testing

A backflow prevention device stops water from irrigation system, hot tubs, pools, new construction or other sources of potentially impure water from flowing back into the public drinking water supply. The devices are required to be tested annually by a state certified tester and the paperwork submitted to the Water Authority by the date on the bottom of each customer's second quarter bill. The New York State Sanitary Code requires water suppliers to protect our water supply and prevent back siphoning or reverse flow of water from irrigation systems, hot tubs, pools, new construction or other sources that could connect non-potable water with the potable water supply.
