Toronto Water · Water Supply By-law (Chapter 851)

Backflow requirements in Toronto

In Toronto, backflow prevention is governed by the City’s Water Supply By-law (Chapter 851). Owners of industrial, commercial, institutional, and Part 3 residential properties — as well as construction sites — must install a backflow preventer and have it tested by a certified Cross-Connection Control Specialist.

  • Testing required at installation, annually, and within 72 hours of any repair
  • Devices selected by hazard level under the CSA B64.10 standard
  • Results submitted to Toronto Water by a certified tester
  • Applies to ICI and Part 3 residential properties plus construction sites

Toronto operates one of the most established backflow prevention programs in Ontario, and the City actively follows up on overdue testing.
