What Happens If I Don’t Get A Backflow Test Done When Required By The City?
It is an offence to not get a backflow test done every year. If you don’t, you could be fined in the range of $250 to $10,000 per day for each day you’re late in doing the test. In an extreme case, the City could cut off water to your property.

Any elevation of pressure in the downsream piping system above the supply pressure at the point of consideration, which would cause or tend to cause a reversal of the normal direction of flow.
Backsiponage?

Why does it have to be test?
Backflow prevention assembly needs to be tested at least once a year by a certified backflow tester to maintain its proper functionality.
