Effective February 15, 2015: BSI Online will process the backflow test reports.

Please click this BSI Online link for details and instructions, as our Utilities Customer Service Department no longer processes these requests.

What is a Backflow Prevention Device?

A backflow prevention device is an assembly nearest to the meter that prevents a undesirable reversal of flow (backflow) of non-potable water or other substances into the City’s distribution system. This device provides a physical barrier to backflow and prevents contaminants from flowing into the distribution system and spreading to other locations..

What is a Cross Connection?

A cross-connection is an actual or potential connection between the safe drinking water (potable) supply, and a source of contamination or pollution. Cross-connections can result in a hazardous event known as backflow, which can draw those contaminants into your drinking water supply.

Florida Administrative Code Rule 62-555.360 prohibits hazardous interconnections to public water systems and requires all public water systems to develop a comprehensive Cross-Connection Control Program.
