This regulation, designed to safeguard public health, requires all commercial establishments to install and maintain certified backflow prevention devices.

Backflow happens when contaminated water reverses direction and enters the clean water supply, presenting significant health risks. To combat this issue, the Queensland government has made backflow prevention devices mandatory for commercial properties, emphasizing the importance of protecting Townsville’s water supply.

Why Backflow Prevention Is Important

Backflow contamination often results from sudden water pressure changes caused by events like burst pipes or high-demand plumbing systems. These incidents are particularly common in complex commercial plumbing setups.

“Backflow prevention devices not only fulfill a legal obligation but also protect your business, employees, and the wider community,” said Sarah Mitchell, Senior Plumbing Technician at Rapid Flow Plumbing Townsville.
