Backflow Protection: FAQs

Does zone or wholesite backflow protection have to be installed?

Under schedule 2 paragraph 15(4) a water undertaker can require zone and/or wholesite protection to be installed.

The level of zone and whole-site backflow prevention required, and the type of backflow prevention device or arrangement to be used, is determined by the water undertaker. The provision of zone and/or whole-site backflow prevention does not relax the requirement for any other required backflow prevention provision within premises.
