Causes

Backflow can occur due to two primary causes:

back siphonage and cross-connections.

1. Back siphonage happens when there is a sudden drop in water pressure, which can be caused by firefighting activities, water main breaks, or high water demand.

2. Cross-connections are unintended connections between the clean water supply and potential sources of contamination, resulting from faulty plumbing configurations or improper installations.

Identifying these causes helps highlight the importance of implementing backflow prevention measures to mitigate the risks of water contamination and maintain the safety of our water systems.
