BACKFLOW PREVENTERS
For our residents who may be concerned about flooding in their homes during periods of heavy rainfall or runoff, it is possible to have a check valve or back water valve placed on fixtures in their home to prevent future water or sewage from entering the home. A plumbing permit is required for this installation. Certain criteria should be addressed by the City's Department of Engineering Services prior to beginning the installation process.
