What Is A Backflow Prevention Device?
Backflow prevention devices ensure that our water supply is not contaminated by pollutants that may enter the water supply. These devices prevent the water from flowing back into the water main pipes. This keeps the drinking water of both the premise and the community safe and healthy.
Across the Sunshine Coast, there are more than 2,700 properties with backflow devices installed. The Sunshine Coast Council has a statutory obligation to maintain a register for the maintenance and testing of backflow prevention devices.
If you have a backflow prevention device, it is your responsibility to register it with the council and have it inspected and tested at least once annually.
