New Jersey Safe Drinking Water Act

Turn on your tap water to wash your hands. We do it every day and when we do, we trust that we will have clean water to wash with. How is it that the water we use coming into your home for washing does not mix with the many water pipes draining the dirty water out of our home?

Plumbers keep America safe by installing backflow preventers. Not all homes require it but recently New Jersey developed the SAFE WATER DRINKING ACT- NJAC 7:10 which became effective on March 1, 2025. Residential properties that house 3 or more families are required to have BACKFLOW PREVENTERS that do this job tested and reported. But not all plumbers do this work. 

To Test and certify Backflow Preventers, it takes a professional with a special certification by ASSE Sanitary Engineering. This is certification that even Master Plumbers need in addition to all their other training and certificates.

Here at Motion Plumbing, we have ASSE Certified Backflow Preventer Testers to do the job. We test a variety of Backflow preventers for a variety of locations- residential, commercial, industrial and fire suppression. Wherever we need safe water, Motion professionals are ready to make sure your water is safe, and your devices work properly or are serviced or replaced.
