Your Home’s Plumbing System
Sometimes the best way to describe something that seems complicated is with a simple real-world comparison. Do you get a little grossed out when you see people sharing sips from a bottle of water or soft drink? Maybe you just can’t get the idea of the saliva backwash out of your mind. Dixie Electric, Plumbing & Air thinks that’s a great way to think about backflow in your home’s plumbing system.
Backflow Prevention
Your home’s plumbing system has two distinct jobs: deliver drinking (potable) water and dispose of wastewater. The two must never mix. That’s why your home is equipped with design elements and devices to prevent backflow and keep the two systems apart. Other water sources CAN potentially cause issues through back siphoning—which can create health concerns.

If you have received a notice for backflow testing do not ignore it. If the test is not performed the city can shut off your water until the test is completed AND you will have to pay a fee to have the service restored. Only a licensed, certified plumbing professional is allowed to perform backflow testing to uphold the city of Montgomery and city of Auburn requirement. Dixie is one of the approved providers for both cities. You can get the entire list of providers from the city you live in.
Having your backflow testing performed is among the most important things you can do to keep your family and community safe. Backflow testing is just one more way our Auburn and Montgomery plumbers from Dixie Electric, Plumbing & Air are here to help you.
