The first line of defense for your drinking water is to prevent any chance of it being contaminated by backflow. Where a cross-connection exists between a potable system and something like an irrigation line, private well or fire protection setup, the risk is real. In Pepperell, as in the rest of Massachusetts, we offer testing and prevention to ensure water quality and meet local regulatory standards. At Ferguson Plumbing Design, we provide the full range of professional plumbing services: from inspection and installation to the repair and testing of the device itself.

What we handle
Backflow prevention is not optional in Pepperell. When a cross-connection exists between your potable water and an irrigation line, private well or fire protection system, testing and the right device are what keep contamination out.
Whether it is an annual test, a new installation, or a repair on a device that has failed, every job gets the same careful diagnosis and documentation, done to keep you compliant and your water protected.
There is more to a backflow preventer than meets the eye. The unit employs valves and other means to halt reverse water movement that might be caused by back pressure from downstream or a drop in supply pressure leading to back siphonage. A good device helps keep the public water supply free of pollution.
This town has its own rules. For instance, residential and commercial fire sprinkler and irrigation systems must have an approved system. The town mandates twice-yearly testing; if a device does not pass, it must be repaired and retested within the allotted time. Our team puts specialized equipment to work to examine the mechanism and make sure it is functioning as it should.
When it comes to installing this device, the right piece of equipment is dictated by the nature of the cross-connection and the hazard involved. We can handle the installation, but we also do the inspecting, repairing and replacing.
One does not want to overlook a damaged mechanism or a failed valve. To stay in compliance with Massachusetts drinking water laws, proper repair and retesting are essential. Under the regulations, if the Water Division deems it necessary, a licensed plumber must put in the approved device. This type of protection is vital anywhere you have a hose connection, boiler, well or other equipment where non-potable and potable water could be linked.

Given that much of the town’s public drinking water is drawn from gravel-packed wells and many residents rely on their own, groundwater is a precious resource. Some of our aquifers lack the natural hydrogeologic barriers to ward off contamination, so we consider prevention all the more critical. Then there is the matter of New England weather; freezing conditions can put stress on exposed piping and irrigation lines.
We appreciate Pepperell, from the open spaces and the Nashua and Nissitissit Rivers to the historic character and the likes of the Pepperell Covered Bridge. For those in the community and surrounding parts of Massachusetts, this type of testing is about having peace of mind and protecting your water.
