Many Leppington homeowners don’t realize that a faulty garden hose, irrigation system, or swimming pool fill line can suck chemicals, fertilizers, or pet waste back into their drinking water. This is called backflow .
Backflow occurs when water flows in the reverse direction—meaning contaminated water from your property flows backward into the main drinking water supply. This can happen due to a sudden drop in water pressure (back-siphonage) or an increase in pressure on the property side (back-pressure).
