Frequently Asked Question
Why Did I Receive A Backflow Testing Notice?
Answer: Tennessee homeowners are often surprised when they receive a backflow testing notice from their water provider.
If your property has an irrigation system, agricultural meter, or certain types of commercial water connections, you may have a backflow preventer installed to help protect the public water supply from contamination.
Because these devices play an important role in protecting drinking water, Tennessee requires many backflow preventers to be tested annually to verify they are operating properly.
If you've received a notice, it doesn't necessarily mean there's a problem. In most cases, it simply means your annual backflow test is due.
Livingwater provides certified backflow testing throughout Tennessee and can help you stay compliant with local and state requirements.
