Backflow can occur due to high pressure on the customer side, or low pressure in the Company\u2019s water system. Backflow is the undesirable reversal of water flow in a potable water system through a cross-connection.

The various types of mechanical backflow preventers include: reduced pressure backflow assembly (RPBA), reduced pressure detector assembly (RPDA), double check valve assembly (DCVA), double-check detector assembly (DCDA), pressure vacuum breaker assembly (PVBA), spill-resistant vacuum breaker assembly (SVBA) and atmospheric vacuum breaker (AVB). For a backflow preventer to provide proper protection, it must be approved for backflow protection, designed for the degree of hazard and backflow it is controlling, installed correctly, tested annually by a State certified tester, and repaired as necessary.<\/p>\n<p>Visit the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/doh.wa.gov\/community-and-environment\/drinking-water\/water-system-design-and-planning\/cross-connection-control-backflow-prevention\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Washington State Department of Health's page on Cross-Connection and Backflow Prevention<\/a> for more information.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t\t\t<\/article>\r\n\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\t<article id=\"post-38261\" class=\"accordion-item post-38261 hwcp-faqs type-hwcp-faqs status-publish hentry faqs_category-backflow-faqs\">\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"#\" class=\"accordion-title plain\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<button class=\"toggle\"><i class=\"icon-angle-down\"><\/i><\/button>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<span>What is the most common form of cross-connection?<\/span><\/a>\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"accordion-inner\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The ordinary garden hose is used to create the most common form of cross-connection.
