Backflow Device Memo

Back to Public Works

There are three typical styles of backflow device options and your plumber can recommend the best one for your situation. The backflow devices will stop outside sewage from entering your home’s plumbing and sewer system.

A permit from the City is required for the installation of backflow prevention devices. The City does not “recommend” plumbers, but any licensed plumber can do this work. There are several plumbers that are licensed in Ashland from the Rogue Valley including:
