If you own or manage a property in Brisbane with a registered backflow prevention device, it’s time to start planning your annual backflow testing. The Brisbane City Council requires all backflow prevention devices to be tested by a licensed backflow endorsed plumber before 31 December 2025.
Failing to complete your testing on time could lead to non-compliance notices and potential penalties — but it’s easy to stay compliant with help from the experts at Backflow Testing Co.
Why Backflow Testing Matters
A backflow prevention device protects Brisbane’s drinking water supply from contamination by preventing the reverse flow of water from your property back into the city’s mains.
Backflow prevention devices include registered pressure zone (RPZ) devices, double-check valves (DCV) and single-check valves (SCV) along with registered air gaps and certain types of vacuum breakers.
Where Backflow Prevention Devices Are Commonly Found
You may have a backflow prevention device installed if your property includes:
- An irrigation system connected to the mains water supply
- Fire systems including hose reels or hydrants
- Commercial or industrial equipment connected to mains water
- Water outlets located near pollutants, grease traps, or chemicals
- An underground rainwater tank with mains water backup
If you’re unsure whether your property has or needs a backflow device, our team can help identify and test it for compliance.
