OTTAWA BACKFLOW PREVENTION PROGRAM
About the program
The Backflow Prevention Program assures that devices are installed to prevent contaminated water from flowing back into the city’s water supply. Ensuring public safety and long-term safety of shared water resources. Many people are unaware that backflow conditions can jeopardize system water quality, posing a health risk to consumers drinking water from the system.
What is backflow?
In most cases, drinking water flows from the City’s distribution system into a property’s private water system. Backflow happens when there’s a reversal of water flow, usually due to changes in water pressure. This ‘backflow’ can cause pollutants to enter the drinking water system.
RANDOM PLUMBING TIP
The mixing valve: It’s now code for new home builds to have a mixing valve, but it’s not uncommon to find older homes in the Ottawa area that don’t have one on their hot water tank. A mixing valve makes sure that the water in your electric hot water tank or gas hot water tank always stays hot enough to prevent bacterial growth. It can also make sure that the water isn’t so hot that it will scald you when you turn on the shower. This can be extremely helpful to the elderly and younger children that may have slower reflexes.
