Ontario Backflow Facts
Who Is Responsible For What?
As Enforced in By-Laws, the Ontario Building Code Act, and the Ontario Safe Drinking Water Act, Everyone Has a Hand in Water Protection!
Purveyors are responsible for providing safe, potable water to the final connection of a distribution system for all consumers of supplied potable water.
Consumers are responsible to ensure that their private water systems remain pollutant and contaminant-free, and that the health & safety of people using and consuming that water is protected.
Consumers and Purveyors are both responsible to ensure that nothing can enter the distribution system that may pollute or contaminate that same water.
Licensed & Certified Cross Connection Control Specialists at ProActive provide third-party services, and site-specific water protection programs. A ProActive Specialist’s diligent approach to water protection aids both the Consumer, & the Purveyor, in the protection of their water systems to stay potable and contaminant-free.
