AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 16 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO BACKFLOW.

Summary

The bill amends the state’s backflow‑prevention code to stop counties and municipalities from requiring backflow preventers in certain low‑hazard buildings, such as single‑family homes and professional offices. Buildings that receive water from a public well must still install preventers per existing well regulations. The change aims to lower costs for homeowners and businesses while protecting drinking‑water supplies.
