NYC Backflow Prevention Law

NYC is famous for many of its attractions and activities, but it also known to have one of the cleanest water systems in the world. That’s why it is safe to say that you can drink tap water in whichever of its boroughs.

New York City protects the supply of potable water by maintaining high pressure in the system that prevents contaminants and backflow from stormwater to enter the potable water pipes. However, in buildings where there are dental offices, bakery, pharmacy, butcher, dry cleaner and many other commercial facilities, the potable water must be protected with a backflow prevention device. The facilities included in the list use chemicals and are heavy users of water.  This may cause a drop in the pressure and increase the chance of contaminating the potable water to the entire building including the residential part.
