Protecting Toronto's Drinking Water Systems

Why We Need Backflow Preventers

Backflow, resulting from Back Pressure and Back Siphonage, is the undesired reversal of water flow between clean and dirty water lines. It occurs due to significant changes in water pressure, like burst water mains, and poses health risks from hazardous contaminants into the public drinking water system. Understanding these mechanisms is vital for effective backflow prevention and safeguarding our water supply systems.

Understanding Back flows Valves

Back Pressure

Back pressure occurs when pressure in a private water system is greater than pressure in the City’s water supply system. This can result in water from the private system forcing its way into the City’s distribution system and can be caused by pumps, elevated tanks, temperature increases in boiler systems, and other local pressure events.

Back Siphonage

Back siphonage occurs when pressure in the City’s water supply system is lower than pressure in a private system. It can pull contaminated water from the private water system into the City’s distribution system and can be caused by nearby fire-fighting or water main breaks.

The main difference lies in their level of protection.

RP assemblies are generally recommended for higher-risk applications where there is a significant risk of contamination.

Trained professionals inspect properties and plumbing systems to spot instances where safe and contaminated water could mix. The goal is to eliminate or mitigate these risks through measures like installing backflow prevention devices and ensuring proper plumbing practices, thus ensuring the safety and quality of the drinking water supply.

Yes, it is generally mandatory to test a newly replaced Backflow Preventer Device. Testing ensures the device functions correctly, prevents backflow, and maintains water supply safety.
