Where are the devices installed?

The devices are installed on the City’s water supply line as close as possible to the customer’s water meter and/or internally on any equipment that utilizes water that potentially may become contaminated such as boilers, carbonators, cooling towers, x-ray machines, etc.

What is Backsiphonage?

The positive flow of water can be reversed when there is a sudden reduction in water pressure in the distribution system, such as during firefighting or when a water main breaks.  This can create a suction effect, drawing the non-potable substance into the potable water system.
