🚰 It’s National Backflow Prevention Day! 🚰
At Fjord Water Works, keeping your water clean and safe is our top priority — and one of the most important tools in that mission is a backflow prevention device.
💧 What is Backflow?
Backflow happens when water flows the wrong direction in your plumbing system, potentially pulling contaminants from things like irrigation systems, hoses, or fire suppression systems into your drinking water.
🛡 Why Backflow Devices Matter
A backflow prevention device is designed to stop that reverse flow, acting like a one-way gate for water. Without it, chemicals, fertilizers, or bacteria could find their way into the water you and your family use every day.
Backflow prevention isn’t just good practice — in many places, it’s required by law to protect public health. That’s why proper installation, testing, and maintenance are so important.
Today, on National Backflow Prevention Day, we’re proud to help keep our community’s water supply clean, safe, and compliant.
