We have been advised by public works department that there are unsolicited representatives going door-to-door to install backflow valves in homeowners’ basements and falsely representing themselves as being employed by the City of Hamilton. Exercise caution when anyone approaches your home and get identification before allowing anyone you do not know to enter your home. The city would not send a plumber to your home to install a backflow valve or any other works. City staff that may visit your home will present the appropriate identification verifying they are a city employee.
