Information about FGUA Backflow Device Requirement

Backflow prevention device
On February 8, we hosted a meeting with a team from Florida Governmental Utility Authority (FGUA) to ask questions about the new backflow prevention device requirement letter many local businesses received. About 300 Dunnellon area businesses received a notice from FGUA, the water company, indicating that a backflow prevention device was required at their business property. The first letters, dated December 2, 2020, gave the business owners a 30 day notice to comply with the requirement and indicated that the device would also need to be tested at the business owner’s expense on a yearly basis. The DCBA has asked for clarification as to whether the device is a requirement by the State of Florida for ALL commercial properties or just certain ones.
 
The meeting can be viewed on YouTube at this link:

We hope this information helps clear up some of your confusion, and we will share more when we know more. If you have not received a letter yet, that does not mean you will not be receiving one. We were told that not all commercial properties were included in the initial mailing.
