Backflow Testing for Mount Waverley Properties
Mount Waverley is a settled residential suburb in the City of Monash, with retail centres at Mount Waverley Village and Pinewood, well regarded schools, and established homes on generous blocks with mature gardens. A light commercial and office base sits along Blackburn Road and the Monash corridor. Schools, local retail and residential irrigation are the main sources of backflow requirements here under Yarra Valley Water.
If your Mount Waverley property has a testable backflow prevention device, annual testing by a VBA-accredited plumber is a legal requirement under Yarra Valley Water regulations. Non-compliance can result in formal notices, fines, and in serious cases, disconnection of your water supply.
