    Why Is Backflow Testing Necessary?

    For all Commercial and industrial properties equipped with Restricted Pressure Zone Device (RPZD) systems, the Water Corporation mandates annual testing by an accredited Backflow Testing Agent, utilising calibrated testing devices.

     At Lakeside Plumbing & Gas, we specialise in testing all backflow prevention devices. There are several compelling reasons why businesses need water backflow prevention:

    Safety Concerns
    Without a backflow prevention device, cross-connections in the water supply can potentially allow contaminants into the drinking water.
    Fines
    Failure to comply with backflow obligations can result in substantial fines ranging from $500.00 to $5,000.00
    Penalties
    Neglecting to protect the water supply may expose businesses to lawsuits from those affected by the lack of proper backflow prevention measures.
    Water Filter Limitations
    Installing a backflow valve enhances the anti-water contamination function of water filters by effectively preventing water pollution caused by backflow incidents.

    Backflow Rules & Regulations in Western Australia

    The Water Corporation of Western Australia is the regulatory authority responsible for enforcing backflow legislation. According to Regulations 42 and 43 of the Water Services Regulations 2013, property owners are required to have and maintain backflow prevention devices at the property boundary.

    Non-compliance with the Water Services Act 2012 (WA) and backflow regulations can result in penalties of up to $5,000.00. Additionally, the Water Corporation possesses the power to restrict or disconnect water services to protect the drinking water supply from potential contamination caused by backflow events.

    Ensuring the proper installation and maintenance of backflow prevention devices is not only a legal requirement but also a crucial step in safeguarding public health and the integrity of the water supply.
