Why is it important for businesses to have their backflow checked annually?

It is important for businesses to have their backflow checked annually because backflow preventers are designed to prevent contaminated water from flowing back into the public water supply. If a backflow preventer is not functioning properly, it can allow potentially hazardous materials to enter the public water supply, which can pose a serious health risk to the community. Additionally, many municipalities and insurance companies require annual backflow testing as a condition of doing business. Regular testing ensures that any issues with the backflow preventer are identified and addressed in a timely manner, minimizing the risk of contamination and potential legal liabilities.
