At the end of October, the Toronto City Council passed a bylaw that requires dental clinics, among many other industrial, commercial and institutional properties, to install a backflow prevention device on every incoming water line to the property to protect the city's water supply system. According to the bylaw, dental clinics with more than one water service connection fall into the severe hazard category, and will be required to demonstrate compliance with the bylaw on an annual basis.
For more information, call the City of Toronto's Backflow Prevention line at 416-394-8888 or e-mail your questions to backflow@toronto.ca. Survey and test reports have to be submitted to the city using the city's standardized forms which can be downloaded from http://www.toronto.ca/water/
protecting_quality/backflow_prevention/forms.htm.
For general help and information on how to complete the Backflow Prevention Device Survey and Test Form, there are also workshops presentations from the City available online at http://www.toronto.ca/
