Test and File a Report for Your Backflow Prevention Assembly
When an irrigation system is installed, a cross connection is made between your homes potable water and the sprinkler system's water mainline. An underground sprinkler system's waterline can be easily contaminated with soil, fertilizers, and other pollutants that compromise the safety of your drinking water. In order to eliminate any risk of water in your sprinkler system getting into your drinking water, a CCC valve is installed to stop the non-potable water in the irrigation system from flowing back into your potable water
Installing the correct Backflow Prevention Assembly with every new sprinkler system is not only the law, but also essential for the assurance of the health and safety of you family, neighbours and loved ones. Should a situation ever arise that would cause the water from your sprinkler system to backflow into your potable water's piping it could contaminate the drinking water for you and your neighbours. At Bathurst Irrigation, we install a cross connection control device (or backflow prevention assembly) that meets or exceeds your municipality's code with every Bathurst Irrigation sprinkler system. If a company is insisting on installing a sprinkler system by using a non approved device that has not been inspected and approved by your municipality's inspector, we strongly recommend you ask questions and reconsider working with that company.
It is required by law in most municipalities that a BFA Test Report be filed with City Hall on an annual basis.
