Yes you do! It’s a requirement of Gold Coast City Council that these devices are tested annually by a licensed plumber.
Backflow prevention devices prevent polluted water entering the drinking water supply. Testing these devices annually ensures your drinking water remains free of pollutants that could potentially poison anyone drinking the contaminated water.
No! Only a Queensland licensed plumber with a backflow endorsement can test the device. The owner of the property is responsible for having the backflow device tested annually. If the test fails, the plumber must repair or replace the device immediately. It is a criminal offence to tamper with, or remove, a backflow prevention device without approval.
The licensed plumber who carries out the test must submit the testing report within 10 business days after inspecting or testing the device. The plumber will also update the registration details if a new device is installed or replaced.
