Backflow Prevention Devices protect thedrinking water system from contami-nation due to Backflow of non-potable(contaminated) water into the potable (fitfor drinking) water supply. Backflow is oftwo types, back-siphonage and drop in pressure in the main citywater line can result in back-siphonagebackflow of fertilizers, pesticides,manures and other contaminantsthrough Sprinkler heads and theirrigation piping system into the potablewater supply. This same contaminationmay occur through a hose-attachedsprinkler, spray nozzle or pesticidesprayer. This presents a serious threat topublic health. This drop in pressure canresult from a break in the line or bylowered mainline pressure due to highwater withdrawal, as may occur duringfire fighting operations.
