Peel Region Backflow Prevention Program
According to Peel Region’s website, under the Safe Drinking Water Act, the Region is obligated to protect all users of the municipal water system.
Implemented in 2017, the Backflow Prevention By-law is designed to safeguard our drinking water by preventing the reverse flow of contaminated water from private plumbing systems into the municipal supply.
This bylaw is applicable to all industrial, commercial, and institutional facilities in Peel, as well as multi-residential and single homes larger than 600 m2.
Feel free to contact us at any time if you have questions about your property.
