General Regulations for the Village

Annual Testing for Backflow devices

IMPORTANT RESIDENT INFORMATION
BACKFLOW DEVICE ANNUAL TEST:
Residents who have automatic, underground sprinkler systems are required to have the backflow prevention device tested by a certified backflow tester once each year.  This is a mandated by the New York State Sanitary Code.  After the device is tested, the backflow tester must submit a copy of Form DOH-1013 to the Village Office, as the Village must report the tests to the Nassau County Dept. of Health.  You may advise the plumber or the individual who tests your device to fax the form to 516-746-3130.  We note that the testing of the device is required, but also protects our water supply! 

We thank you for your compliance.
