Why backflow testing matters in Kelowna
BC Regulations Require It
Annual testing is the law for most commercial and many residential properties with irrigation.
Under the BC Plumbing Code and the City of Kelowna's Cross-Connection Control Program. Failure can mean fines or disconnection.
Serious Health Risks
Backflow introduces bacteria, pesticides, fertilisers into drinking water.
In Okanagan agricultural communities, the risk from cross-contamination via irrigation is especially high.
Irrigation Is High Risk
Every irrigation connection is a potential backflow hazard.
A pressure drop anywhere on the city main can suck fertiliser-laden water back into your home's plumbing.
Commercial Properties Face Stricter Rules
Restaurants, medical, strata, fire-suppression: all mandatory annual.
We handle the certification paperwork so your records stay current with the water authority.
Devices Degrade Over Time
Springs, check valves, seals wear out.
A device that passed last year may already be compromised. Yearly certification is mandatory, not optional.
Avoid Costly Liability
If your property contaminates the municipal supply, you may be liable.
Annual testing demonstrates due diligence and protects you from exposure. A small cost vs. potential liability.
