Every home should have a Knoxville backflow preventer. Is it legally binding to have one? Not for all but some. Regardless of what the civic codes state, it is in the best interest of every resident of Knoxville and a part of larger public interest that homes and even commercial properties get a Knoxville backflow preventer.

Let us first understand why a Knoxville backflow preventer is imperative.

Every home or property has a private water line. That is connected to the communal water line. The latter is the one that serves an entire area and is connected to the larger network of water lines operated by the civic authorities. These lines are the lifeline of the entire city. Just as water flows in through the communal lines and then to the private water line in homes or properties, water from the private lines can also flow back to the communal lines. That is neither desirable nor healthy.
It is quite possible that water flows back due to some external factor inside a property or some clogging problems in the lines. The water pressure in the communal lines may be less than necessary to facilitate the flow and that can draw water back towards its source. This will lead to a suction of water at the private water lines, back to the communal lines. All these would allow water backflow and that can open a Pandora’s Box.
Water backflow can mean dirty or stained water from private lines getting sucked back in or flowing back into the communal supply lines. It could be waste water from irrigation or industrial establishments, contaminated or toxic materials laden water flowing back to the city supply lines. Such unhealthy water can then flow through the communal supply lines and infect other residents.

Every property should have a Knoxville backflow preventer. It is essentially a valve that is installed where the communal supply line meets a private water line. This valve will allow water to flow in smoothly without any problem or obstruction in the flow. But this valve will not allow water to flow back into the communal supply line from the private water line. In effect, there is no way a private water line can infect or contaminate the communal supply line.

every homeowner must get a backflow preventer. If you already have one, then you should maintain it and repair it timely as and when necessary. A malfunctioning backflow preventer is as good as not having one.
