Backflow Prevention
All commercial and industrial buildings require testable backflow devices and are mandated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the N.H. Department of Environmental Services. These devices are owned and maintained by the property owner and testing can be performed by our certified contracted backflow testers.
Reduced Pressure Zone backflow devices are tested bi-annually and all dual check devices are tested annually. A fee of $70.00 is charged for each testing service to be billed with the water bill if opting to use the town’s contracted provider, New England Backflow, Inc. There are a total of 85 commercial backflows in the Lancaster water system. Scheduled appointments for the testing are usually not necessary, since commercial properties are tested during normal business hours.
