Backflow Testing for Truganina Properties
Truganina sits in Melbourne's western growth corridor and is one of Victoria's fastest growing suburbs, spanning the City of Wyndham and the City of Melton. Its extensive industrial estates have made it a major centre for logistics, warehousing, distribution and manufacturing, with operators drawing on direct access to the Princes Freeway, the Western Ring Road and Melbourne Airport. New residential estates, shopping centres and schools continue to open alongside that industrial base, so Truganina carries an unusually wide mix of properties that may require a testable backflow prevention device under Greater Western Water requirements.
If your Truganina property has a testable backflow prevention device, annual testing by a VBA-accredited plumber is a legal requirement under Greater Western Water regulations. Non-compliance can result in formal notices, fines, and in serious cases, disconnection of your water supply.

FAQ
Common Questions About Backflow Testing in Truganina
Most do. Where a site has a fire service, chemical or fuel storage, a truck or plant wash bay, food processing, or an in ground irrigation system, Greater Western Water treats it as a medium or high hazard property and a testable backflow prevention device is required. Once a device is fitted it must be tested at intervals of no more than 12 months by a plumber holding VBA backflow accreditation. High hazard sites across the Truganina industrial estates most often carry an RPZ assembly, which has a relief valve that has to be tested as well as the two check valves.
Not every home does. A device is required where Greater Western Water has issued a notice to the property owner, or where the property has a below ground rainwater tank connected to the drinking water supply, an in ground irrigation system, a bidet, or a private fire service. Given how much of Truganina has been built in the last decade, these connections are common in the newer estates. Where a testable device is fitted, the annual test and the report to Greater Western Water are the property owner's responsibility, not the tenant's.
All properties in Truganina serviced by Greater Western Water are required to have testable backflow prevention devices tested at intervals of no more than 12 months. Missing the annual window can trigger compliance notices and, in serious cases, disconnection of your water supply.
Only a plumber holding VBA accreditation in backflow prevention can legally test a device and issue a compliance certificate. A standard plumbing licence is not sufficient. Aussie Backflow holds VBA Licence No. 28465 with full backflow prevention accreditation.
A failed test does not necessarily mean replacement. Most failures involve worn seals, debris, or pressure irregularities that can be repaired on the same visit. We carry common parts and will retest after any repair. If replacement is required, we will advise on options.
Yes, report submission is included in every test. After testing we submit your compliance certificate directly to Greater Western Water on your behalf, within 14 days of testing.
Most single-device tests take 20 to 45 minutes. Multi-device properties take longer depending on the number and types of devices. We confirm an estimated duration when you book.
