Backflow prevention devices keep contaminated water from flowing backward into Haskell’s clean water supply. Saline County and Arkansas Department of Health regulations require annual testing of all backflow prevention assemblies on residential and commercial properties connected to a mix of private wells and Saline County Water District service.
Why Haskell Properties Need Professional Backflow Testing
Properties across Haskell sit on Saline County red clay with shallow bedrock that stresses pipe joints. Ground movement from this soil type puts stress on water service lines and the backflow assemblies installed near property meters. Older homes near the Haskell Road corridor and surrounding rural acreage are especially prone to backflow valve failure due to aging copper and galvanized connections that develop micro-leaks over time.
