Lone Star Drinking Water Protection - LSDWP

Backflow incidents happen all the time here is one that happened in Corpus Christi a few years back:
Officials warned residents of the water contamination which originated at a chemical plant mixing tank, identifying the chemical as an asphalt emulsifier known as INDULIN‐AA‐86, which can burn skin and cause respiratory problems. It was discovered that up to 24 gallons of the chemical in concentration was pumped back into the city water main, an amount normally diluted and used to produce up to 8000 gallons of product. After further investigation, no backflow preventer was found on the incoming water line to the chemical plant. This had opened the opportunity for an internal unprotected cross connection on a mixing tank, to backpressure the chemical into the city water main.

The State of Texas requires all connections where health hazards or potential health hazards exist to have a Backflow Preventer installed and tested at a minimum of once per year.
