Backflow Prevention
Backflow Prevention PVB Backflow Prevention Devices are available in many shapes and sizes. Regardless of how large or small a device may be everyone serves the same purpose to Prevent the Backflow of Contaminants into the Water Supply.

When a drop in main pressure occurs the potential for Backflow increases. City of Lakeland Construction Standards require these devices where the potential for Backflow exists.
Backflow Prevention with Post The yellow posts around this backflow help to protect it from vehicle traffic.
Backflow Prevention with Plants Whenever possible an attempt is made to blend devices with landscaping.
Backflow Prevention Two Together When two devices are side by side generally each serves a different function. In this case one is for the irrigation system and the other is for a fire line.
