Backflow
People |
| A backflow preventer is a device which
is installed on the main water line as it
enters a building. It is a type of
check valve which prevents water from
flowing back into the city water once it
enters a building or home. |
| It's purpose is to protect the city
water supply from contamination from water
inside a building which has become tainted
and non-drinkable. It has happened in
Akron's own recent history that processing
water from an industrial building polluted a
large area of Akron's drinking water. |
| Because backflow preventions are so
important for the safety of our city
drinking water, they require yearly
inspection, testing and certification by a
licensed professional. |
| Wilson Plumbing and Heating has three
full-time certified specialists to handle
your yearly certification procedure. |
