Backflow Prevention Program
330 Wentworth Street North
Hamilton, ON L8L 5W2
Call 905-546-2489

The City's Prevention of Backflow By-law 10-103 ensures that the City of Hamilton drinking water quality and distribution system is protected from each industrial, commercial, institutional or multi-residential property. Under backflow conditions, contaminates from these properties could enter the drinking water system when a property is not sufficiently backflow protected.

The By-law affects all:

  • Industrial properties
  • Commercial properties
  • Institutional properties
  • Multi-residential properties four stories or higher

What is Backflow?

The flow of water through a pipe in a direction opposite to that which is normal or intended. When this occurs, contaminates may be drawn back into the City’s water distribution system unless prevented by a backflow preventer.

Two types of backflow that can occur:

  1. Backpressure is backflow that can be caused when the pressure within the private water supply system is greater than the water pressure supplied by the City’s water distribution system. Can be caused by things such as booster pumps located on the property.
  2. Backsiphonage is backflow that can be caused by a pressure drop in the City’s water distribution system which could draw water from the private property back into the City’s water distribution system. Can occur due to a watermain break, or excessive demand on the system such as fire fighting.

What is a Backflow Prevention Device?

A Backflow prevention device is a mechanical device installed on a water service downstream of the water meter to prevent backflow.

Backflow Survey Requirements

Property owners with a water service line entering their property that is 38 mm (1.5 inches) in diameter or smaller need to complete a Self Assessed Survey once every 5 years. This will determine the level of backflow risk associated with your property. If there is more than one business located on your property a survey must be completed for each individual business.

Fee: There is no cost for completing this survey.

Complete Online Self Assessed Survey or 5 Year Resurvey

Prefer to submit by mail or in-person? Submit a completed paper copy of the Backflow Self Assessed Survey(PDF, 3.14 MB) to:

City of Hamilton
Backflow Prevention Program
330 Wentworth Street North
Hamilton, ON L8L 5W2

If you require more information to complete your Self Assessed Survey call Customer Service at 905-546-2489.

Property owners with a water service line entering their property that is 50mm or larger or are deemed by the City of Hamilton through the Self Assess Survey to require a completed Cross Connection Survey.

Hire a contractor from the approved City of Hamilton list of contractors. The contractor will complete a Cross Connection Survey(PDF, 409.22 KB) to determine the hazard level associated with your property.

Fee: $194.74 per form upon submission

Submit an original signed copy of the Cross Connection Survey and the fee within 14 days of completing the survey in person or by mail to:
City of Hamilton
Backflow Prevention Program
330 Wentworth Street North
Hamilton, ON L8L 5W2

You will receive a Cross Connection Survey Acknowledgement by mail from the City of Hamilton. It will identify the hazard level based on the completed Cross Connection survey and determine the appropriate backflow prevention device required for your property.
