Valley Municipal Utility District is enforcing the state's Cross-connection and Backflow regulations.  The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) requires that any actual or potential cross-connections be protected from backflow. Residents are required to install a backflow preventer assembly to prevent contaminants from entering the public drinking water system. This will protect your water against any contamination. 

A backflow is the reverse flow of water or other substances into the treated drinking water distribution system.
A cross-connection is when there is a physical connection between drinkable water and a liquid or gas that could make the water unsafe to drink. 
A backflow preventer assembly is a protective valve typically installed immediately behind the water meter on the customer's side. ** Backflow preventers need to be tested yearly (by a state certified licensed tester) since they contain parts that can wear out and break down.
