Backflow & Cross-Connection Control

Backflow prevention is designed to protect the public water supply from contamination from customer’s plumbing systems. Per the Florida Administrative Code (FAC) –Chapter 62-555.360 and Town ordinances, Chapter 25 Article V and Article VIIA, an approved backflow device is required on all commercial, institutional and industrial businesses, multifamily residences, dedicated irrigation lines, and fire suppression lines. In addition, all single family residences with irrigation systems must have an approved testable backflow prevention device installed.
Per Town ordinances, failure to install an appropriate backflow constitutes grounds for discontinuing water service, in order to protect the public water system. 

The Town of Davie has contracted with Backflow Solutions Inc. (BSI) to manage the backflow certification program. Every backflow service must be inspected annually by a certified backflow tester that is registered with BSI. Customers with known devices receive a reminder from BSI that testing is due.

If you have any questions regarding the program, please contact the Utilities Department at 954-327-3741 or BSI (for your existing backflow) at 1-800-414-4990 or visit the website at http://bsiprograms.com/contact-us/.
