Peel’s Backflow Prevention by-law
As per Peel Region’s website, the Region is responsible under the Safe Drinking Water Act to safeguard and protect all municipal water system users.
In place since 2017, the Backflow Prevention by-law ensures the protection of our drinking water by stopping the backflow of contaminated water from private plumbing into our municipal drinking water.
The bylaw applies to all industrial, commercial and institutional facilities in Peel, as well as multi-residential homes and single homes over 600 m2.
