In 2011, the Town of Mooresville required business owners to put a special valve on their water connections to protect its water supply from harmful substances.  These backflow devices are required to be tested and certified on an annual basis, by a NC licensed plumber.

Included in the annual backflow valve test procedure is record keeping and reporting.  If the annual backflow test isn’t fully completed in the allotted time frame a fine may be levied and worst case scenario the water supply may be interrupted.

The testing process, including the report, must be performed by a NC licensed plumber; the property owner is not allowed to submit his own test results.  The test process consists of several steps:

1. 1) Determining the type of prevention device installed
2. 2) Define the flow direction of the water
3. 3) Temporarily disable the water supply leading to the device
4. 4) Install a backflow water pressure testing device
5. 5) Check the water pressure the backflow preventer will withstand
6. 6) Report the test results to the Town of Mooresville and State of NC
7. 7) Provide certification to property owner

Upon successful test results, a certification verifying its correct operation is issued to the property owner.  This certification is valid for the forthcoming year for the only the backflow preventers listed on the report.

As a licensed, insured and bonded Mooresville Plumber with all up to date NC State certifications, I have completed many annual backflow tests and would be more than happy to test any commercial backflow preventer and ensure compliance within the regulations of our town.
