backflow prevention
The EPA requires backflow prevention on every irrigation system connected to a potable water supply. There are 2 styles of devices allowed by the State of Indiana. Pressure Vacuum Breaker (PVB) or Reduced Principle Device (RP). PVB is required to be 12″ above the highest discharge point. The RP device is required to be 12″ above the ground. Both units are required to be certified yearly.
BACKFLOW PREVENTION PROGRAM EXPLAINED
The Backflow prevention program: Established several years ago to eliminate or control cross-connections in the water system.
Cross-connection: Any pipe arrangement where backflow into the public water system might occur.
Backflow prevention device: A mechanical device or piping configuration that prevents backflow of contaminated water into a potable water system from occurring at a cross-connection. Home irrigation systems or a garden hose dropped into a swimming pool are both cross-connections.
