Sometimes, due to pressure changes in pipes, the water can flow backwards into city water lines and could contaminate the public water supply with human waste or chemicals.

To install a backflow prevention device, you must hire a Professional Engineer (PE) or Registered Architect (RA) to prepare a backflow prevention plan for your property. The PE or RA will send the plan(s) to DEP for approval. If the plans are approved, DEP will notify you via mail. You will then need to hire a Licensed Master Plumber (LMP) to install the backflow prevention device.
