The Town of Antigonish plays an important role in contributing to the overall health and well-being of its residents, which includes being able to provide safe and clean drinking water. That is why the Town of Antigonish, with the support of the Nova Scotia Department of Environment, will continue implementing its Backflow Prevention Program. The Town’s Backflow Prevention Program meets the regulatory requirement of the Nova Scotia Department of Environment to establish a cross-connection control program.
“Our Backflow Prevention Program is an essential risk-management initiative to protect our water supply. The Town has developed a comprehensive cross-connection control program and submitted a detailed plan to the Nova Scotia Department of Environment,” said Jeff Lawrence, Chief Administrative Officer of the Town of Antigonish. “Both the Town and the Department of Environment are working cooperatively to certify proper and timely installation of backflow prevention devices on water services lines where there is a significant potential for backflow, such as those with sprinkler systems.”
