If your home has lawn irrigation or a fire sprinkler system, usually yes, depending on your utility or municipality. Check your notice for the deadline.

Call us during office hours, Monday to Friday, 8 AM to 5 PM, and describe what you are seeing. We will explain what the first visit involves and agree a time that works. For larger jobs, we price the work after we have seen it.
Backflow is water flowing the wrong way through your plumbing. If pressure drops, water from an irrigation line or sprinkler system can be pulled back into the clean supply. A backflow preventer is a one-way barrier that stops that from happening.
