On January 10, 2022, the City of Owen Sound Council passed the Backflow Prevention By-Law No. 2022-003 as part of the City’s backflow prevention program. The by-law mandates the installation of backflow preventers on water services. This by-law will affect approximately 500 industrial, commercial, and institutional properties in the City.

The City of Owen Sound has already conducted a cross connection survey of properties that will require a backflow preventer. The cost to install these devices may create an unexpected financial burden on the building owners. As such, the City will cover the cost of installation for the premise isolation backflow prevention and Fire Protection backflow prevention.

The City’s  Backflow Coordinator will contact owners and visit these properties to make arrangements with the property owners to install these devices on water services after the water meter.
