Backflow Prevention in Greenville

Protecting Your Water Supply & Community

Backflow prevention is essential to keeping your water supply clean and safe in Greenville, SC. At Conserva Irrigation of Greenville, our certified technicians provide testing, installation, and maintenance services designed to support effective backflow preventer operation. This work helps protect your home, community, and local environment from potential contamination while promoting long-term reliability.

Greenville Water operates a Cross Connection Control Program to protect the public water system from contamination caused by reverse water flow. If your water connection presents a backflow hazard, you must install an approved backflow prevention assembly and have it tested each year under utility and South Carolina Department of Environmental Services standards. Greenville has specific water safety regulations, and our services support compliance.

Call (864) 835-8755 to schedule certified backflow testing for your property.

Comprehensive Backflow Prevention Services

Our backflow prevention services cover installation, testing, and routine maintenance. Whether you own a home, manage a commercial property, or oversee community facilities, we help protect your irrigation system against reverse-flow contamination. Irrigation water can come into contact with fertilizer, pesticides, and animal waste in landscaped areas, making an effective backflow prevention assembly an important safeguard.

We install a pressure vacuum breaker (PVB), which stops water from flowing backward through an irrigation connection, and a reduced pressure zone valve (RPZ) assembly, which uses relief and check valves to control reverse flow. Our technicians install these assemblies to meet applicable local and state requirements. We also provide backflow testing, repairs, preventive and annual maintenance, commercial site assessments, and commercial irrigation services.

Trusted & Certified Professionals

Conserva Irrigation of Greenville employs certified technicians trained in backflow testing, installation, and maintenance. We stay current with local utility requirements and South Carolina standards, manage the required compliance documentation, and file test results with the appropriate authorities.

As a customer, you’re responsible for installing, maintaining, and testing required backflow prevention assemblies, including the associated costs. The utility doesn’t install or test these devices. Certified testers complete the required testing and upload approved results through Greenville Water’s reporting system.

The Backflow Prevention Process

Our service process keeps your system safe, compliant, and efficient:

• Inspection and assessment: We thoroughly evaluate your existing system.
• Installation or upgrade: When necessary, we install or upgrade your backflow device to meet regulatory requirements.
• Required testing: A certified technician tests the assembly for proper operation and compliance.
• Repairs and maintenance: We complete needed repairs and perform preventive maintenance.
• Documentation: We complete and file all compliance paperwork with the appropriate authorities.

The test confirms whether your backflow prevention assembly is operating as required. If an assembly fails, it must be repaired or replaced and receive an approved test result before it satisfies the applicable compliance requirement.

Missed Backflow Testing & Compliance Requirements

Greenville Water notifies you by mail when a required protective device hasn’t been installed or a required test hasn’t been completed. If you fail or refuse to make the correction, the utility disconnects the service connection until the installation, correction, or test is approved. You’re also responsible for applicable disconnection and reconnection fees.
