What is Backflow?
Backflow

a cross-connection and into the piping of a public water system or consumer's potable water system.
There are two types of backflow... backpressure backflow and backsiphonage.

and bad policy from the beginning, and I would suggest cities and organizations that lend their name to
supporting fluoridation very quickly and emphatically change positions..."
(Lawsuits threatened over forced fluoride).
