Protect our water supply- Backflow

 Protect Your Family & Our Water Supply, Tahoka! 
Install a Backflow Preventer – It’s Simple, Smart, and Safe.

Dear Tahoka Neighbor,

Did you know that something as simple as a garden hose left in a puddle or a sprinkler system without proper protection can contaminate the entire town’s water supply?

That’s where backflow preventers come in. These small but powerful devices stop dirty water from flowing backward into clean drinking water lines — protecting you, your neighbors, and everyone in our community.

 Why Does Tahoka Need Backflow Preventers?

Keep Our Drinking Water Safe: Prevent fertilizers, chemicals, and bacteria from flowing into your tap water.

Protect Public Health: One backflow incident can affect dozens of homes.

Meet Local & State Requirements: Backflow prevention isn’t just smart — it’s also part of responsible water management.

 Who needs Backflow Preventers? (Customers that have any of the listed items below)

In-Ground Pool

Sprinkler System

Private Well.

You will still need a Backflow Preventer if your Sprinkler System, Private Well, or Swimming pool is not connected to the Municipal Water Supply.

 Real Risk, Real Solutions

Without a backflow preventer, pressure changes in the water line (like from a burst pipe or hydrant use) can pull contaminated water into the system. That’s a risk we can’t afford — especially when prevention is this easy.

Let’s keep Tahoka’s water clean and safe — together.
