How Backflow Prevention Protects Clifton Water Supplies
A backflow preventer stops water from flowing backward through a cross-connection, where potable water may encounter a non-potable source. Backflow can occur when pressure changes disrupt the intended direction of water through a plumbing system.
Property systems that may warrant professional evaluation include:
- Irrigation systems connected to the building’s water supply
- Fire protection lines
- Boilers with water supply connections
- Multi-family building plumbing systems
- Commercial kitchen supply lines
An on-site evaluation examines the supply configuration, potential hazards, and installation requirements. These details help us determine the appropriate work for the property.
The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection requires backflow prevention devices on public supply lines entering facilities covered by its Physical Connection program. In applicable circumstances, the program requires double check valve assemblies or reduced pressure zone backflow preventers. The facility and its plumbing configuration determine the exact obligations.

New Jersey Testing, Permit & Inspection Requirements
Under the New Jersey Uniform Construction Code, testable backflow preventers must undergo field testing upon installation and annual retesting. An individual certified through an agency recognized by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection’s Bureau of Safe Drinking Water must complete the testing.
Facilities covered by the state’s Physical Connection program have additional obligations. The owner must obtain and annually renew a permit, and every covered device must be tested quarterly. Private residences don’t require this permit under the program, although other code, utility, testing, or municipal requirements may apply.
Before a covered permit can be renewed, New Jersey requires an internal inspection of double check valve and reduced pressure zone assemblies within the preceding six months. A tightness test must follow reassembly.
Property owners remain responsible for determining which state, local utility, and municipal obligations apply to their plumbing systems. Confirm the required testing, plumbing inspection, permit renewal, and documentation responsibilities with the authorities governing the property.
