What is Backflow and why do you need to have your backflow preventer tested?

BACKFLOW CROSS-CONNECTION CONTROL PROGRAM

The mission of the Backflow Cross-Connection Control Program is to ensure the safety of the potable water supplied to customers.

The City of Corpus Christi established its program in 1996 to protect potable water and is now tracking testable backflow prevention assemblies. We perform surveys to identify possible cross-connections and inspections for proper installation of backflow prevention assemblies.

DEFINTIONS:

BACKFLOW: The undesirable reversal of flow of water or mixtures of water and other liquids, gassteam or other substances into the distribution pipes of the potable supply or water from any source or sources.

CROSS-CONNECTION: Any physical connection or arrangement between two otherwise separate piping systems, one of which contains potable water and the other, water of unknown or questionable safety, steam, gas or chemical, whereby there exist the possibility for flow from one system to the other, with the direction of flow depending on the pressure differential between the two systems.

BACKFLOW PREVENTION ASSEMBLY: Any approved effective assembly used to prevent backflow into a potable water supply system. The type of assembly used shall be based on the existing or potential degree of hazard, and backflow condition.
