Why it matters
Backflow prevention isn't optional — it's required
Pennsylvania regulations require backflow prevention devices on service connections where a potential cross-connection exists. These devices protect the public water supply from contamination caused by reverse water flow.
For many properties in Hampden Township, this means installing an approved assembly at the water meter or service connection. The specific device depends on the degree of hazard and local water authority requirements.
Common situations requiring installation
- Lawn irrigation systems connected to municipal water
- Fire sprinkler systems
- Commercial and industrial facilities
- Any property with a potential cross-connection
