Overview

Protecting the drinking water supply

Backflow prevention devices stop water from a property flowing back into the public drinking water supply. Water Corporation requires containment protection on water and fire services, and testable devices need to be tested by an accredited backflow tester.

Reflow tests, installs and repairs backflow prevention devices across Perth. After testing, the tester lodges the test report with Water Corporation, which is required within five working days of the test.
