Backflow and Cross Connection
-
What is back flow?
Backflow occurs when water flows in the opposite direction, potentially allowing contaminants to enter the municipal drinking water system. This can happen due to changes in pressure, posing health risks to our community.
-
Why is it important?
Muskoka's By-Law 2023-42 mandates that all industrial, commercial, institutional, and multi-residential properties connected to the municipal drinking water system must have backflow prevention devices installed and maintained. This ensures that our water remains clean and safe for everyone.
