🚰 Protecting Sarasota’s Clean Water Supply: Is Your Backflow Preventer Up to Date?
If you own a home or commercial property in Sarasota, annual backflow testing isn't just good maintenance-it's a local requirement designed to keep our drinking water safe.
Why Backflow Testing Matters
When municipal water pressure drops (from a water main line issue, fire hydrant usage, or heavy irrigation), contaminated water from sprinklers, pools, or private wells can reverse direction and flow backward into your fresh drinking water supply.
A backflow prevention assembly stops dirty water in its tracks, but mechanical parts can degrade over time due to mineral buildup, pressure shifts, and wear.
