Clean Water is the goal of
the Oregon Health Authority, your Water District and Heath Backflow Inc.
There are a number of state and federal regulations that require all backflow prevention devices to be tested annually, and repaired if necessary.
These devices are required to protect the quality and safety of the drinking water supply. The backflow prevention device is used to keep water that passes through it and into the irrigation system from coming back into the water supply. Backflow assemblies have parts that can break down and wear out, just like the parts on your car. By having the backflow tested annually, you help to ensure the drinking water supplied to your home remains safe.
At Heath Backflow Inc, we have certified backflow assembly testers on staff to provide quality testing to ensure your drinking water remains safe.
