Backflow Testing, Certification & Repair in Califon Borough, NJ
Califon Borough is one of Hunterdon County’s most charming and historically distinctive small communities — a tiny borough of approximately 1,100 residents in the North Branch Raritan River valley, with a remarkably well-preserved Victorian-era Main Street that has been described as one of the most intact small-town commercial streetscapes in New Jersey. Califon’s unusual name — derived from “California” and applied by early settlers who had traveled west during the Gold Rush — reflects a playful piece of local history. The borough is surrounded by the Lebanon Township agricultural landscape and the Voorhees State Park, giving it a genuinely rural setting that enhances the intimacy of its preserved commercial district.
South Jersey Backflow provides certified annual backflow testing and certification, backflow repair and rebuild service, and backflow preventer enclosures for Califon Borough property owners.
