Why do Backflow Devices Need to be Tested?

In order to ensure that the drinking water is safe from potential contaminants entering into the system, the Illinois State Plumbing Code and Local Codes require backflow prevention on all water services and annual cross-connection inspections on these devices. This inspection includes the testing and maintenance of all Backflow preventers.
