Backflow prevention is a critical safeguard in maintaining drinking water purity—yet the UK continues to lag behind global leaders such as the US and Australia in adopting best practices. This session brings together CIPHE Vice President Paul Daley (Captain Backflow), industry expert Peter McLennan, and Julie Spinks, Managing Director of WRAS, to explore how regional infrastructure, regulation, and innovation intersect to shape risk and reliability. Speakers will present a roadmap for harmonising standards, strengthening compliance, and driving consistent adoption of proven backflow prevention solutions—drawing on UK priorities and international best practice. The session will also spotlight emerging technologies—smart valves, real-time monitoring, and predictive diagnostics—that can detect and eliminate contamination threats before they reach the tap. A vital conversation on regulation, accountability, and innovation to protect today’s potable water supplies and safeguard those of tomorrow.
