What Is Backflow and Why Is It a Risk for Your Business?
Backflow happens when water flows in the wrong direction through your plumbing system. Instead of fresh water flowing in from the municipal supply, contaminants from your facility can get pushed back into the clean water line. For businesses that use chemicals, have irrigation systems, or process food, this is a serious public health risk.
The businesses most commonly affected include restaurants, medical and dental offices, car washes, breweries, apartment complexes, and commercial properties with irrigation. If your facility connects to a potable water system in any way, you likely need a backflow preventer installed and tested regularly.
Without proper prevention in place, businesses face health code violations, significant fines, potential shutdowns, and legal liability if contamination occurs. A functioning backflow preventer is one of the simplest ways to protect your business, your customers, and your license to operate.
Backflow Testing Is Required in Johnson County. Is Your Business Up to Date?
Commercial properties in Kansas are required to have their backflow prevention assemblies tested annually. Once testing is complete, the results must be submitted to your local water authority. If your business has not been tested in the past year, you may already be out of compliance.
Johnson County municipalities take backflow requirements seriously, and the burden is on the property owner to stay current. Our licensed technicians are certified to perform the test, document the results, and submit the report on your behalf.
The following business types are typically required to test annually:
- Restaurants and food service operations
- Breweries and beverage production facilities
- Medical and dental offices
- Car washes
- Apartment complexes and multi-family properties
- Properties with commercial irrigation systems
- Manufacturing and industrial facilities
