Causes Of Backflow

Back Pressure

Back pressure emerges when pressure within a private water system exceeds that of the City’s water supply. This could lead to private system water entering the City’s distribution system, often triggered by factors such as pumps, elevated tanks, boiler system temperature increases, and localized pressure changes.

Back Siphonage

Back siphonage happens when the City’s water supply system pressure falls below that of a private system, potentially drawing polluted water from the private system into the City’s distribution. This can be triggered by events like nearby fire-fighting or water main breaks.
