Protecting Our Water (and Our Bees!): Why Backflow Testing Matters

At Harrison Honey Farm, we care deeply about protecting our land, our water, and the health of our bees.A safe, clean water supply isn’t just important for farming — it’s essential for every household and business in our community.

One often-overlooked part of keeping our water safe is backflow prevention.

What Is Backflow and Why Should You Care?

Backflow happens when water flows the wrong way through your plumbing system, pulling contaminated water back into the clean water supply. This can introduce pesticides, fertilizers, and other harmful substances into drinking water systems.

For farms like ours, residential properties, and commercial businesses, a properly maintained backflow prevention device is critical to keep everything (and everyone) safe.

In many towns and cities in Lake County, annual backflow testing isn’t just recommended — it’s required.
