I can't imagine the cost to install a backflow device on every single lone connection.

A lot of domestic water meters have a simple backflow prevention valve built in.

Though most of them are not easily testable like the commercial connection backflow prevention valves. If the property has non-potable water as well as potable water under pressure, then one or more commercial grade BPVs are necessary.

They're suggesting the homeowner requests and pays for it I believe.

Exactly! Don’t want it? No problem. Want it? Pay please (and we can work in subsidies for those that need them)
