What Is a Backflow Preventer?

A backflow preventer is a device that stops contaminated or non-potable water from flowing backwards into the public water supply — a "cross-connection hazard." SC requires annual testing to ensure these devices work correctly, because a failed backflow preventer can introduce contaminants into the municipal water system.

Backflow preventers are installed on irrigation systems, fire suppression lines, commercial food service equipment connections, medical facilities, chemical injection points, and any other location where there's a risk of water flowing the wrong way into the potable supply.

  • Commercial properties — Most commercial properties connected to Abbeville's public water supply with irrigation systems or other cross-connection hazards require annual certification.
  • Restaurants and food service — Commercial kitchens have multiple cross-connection points requiring backflow protection.
  • Irrigation systems — Residential and commercial irrigation systems connected to municipal water require properly maintained and tested backflow devices.
  • Medical and dental facilities — Healthcare facilities have strict cross-connection control requirements.
  • Multi-family properties — Apartment complexes and commercial buildings typically require annual backflow testing.

How Often Is Backflow Testing Required in Abbeville SC?
