Backflow Testing, Certification & Repair in Lebanon Borough, NJ
Lebanon Borough is a small, historically rooted community in central Hunterdon County — a borough of approximately 1,300 residents situated along Route 22 and the edge of the Spruce Run Reservoir watershed, with a character defined by its Victorian-era downtown on Main Street, its agricultural and industrial heritage, and its position as a compact residential borough surrounded by the larger Lebanon Township that shares its name but maintains entirely separate municipal status. Lebanon Borough’s downtown has a handful of local businesses and the community institutions of a small, self-contained Hunterdon County borough that has maintained its independent identity through more than a century of suburban development pressure on its borders. The borough is adjacent to the Round Valley and Spruce Run Recreation Areas — two of New Jersey’s most significant reservoir state parks — making it one of the most scenically situated small boroughs in Hunterdon County.

Water Authority Serving Lebanon Borough
Lebanon Borough operates its own small municipal water system — the Lebanon Borough water department — serving Lebanon Borough’s residential and commercial properties with public water supply. The Lebanon Borough water department enforces cross-connection control requirements under N.J.A.C. 7:14B backflow regulations for all Lebanon Borough properties on the public supply. Annual backflow test reports for Lebanon Borough properties must be submitted to the Lebanon Borough water department. South Jersey Backflow maintains current Lebanon Borough submission requirements and files all test reports directly.
Note: Lebanon Borough is distinct from Lebanon Township (which surrounds it) and which is primarily served by private wells. Properties within Lebanon Borough’s corporate limits on the municipal water supply are subject to annual N.J.A.C. 7:14B testing obligations. If you are uncertain whether your property is within Lebanon Borough or Lebanon Township, South Jersey Backflow can confirm the applicable municipality and water authority before scheduling service. contact South Jersey Backflow for a property-specific determination.
Spruce Run and Round Valley: Lebanon Borough's Reservoir Neighborhood
Lebanon Borough sits at the edge of one of the most significant water supply landscapes in central New Jersey. The Spruce Run Reservoir (1,290 acres, a primary source for NJ American Water’s Raritan system serving central New Jersey) and the Round Valley Reservoir (2,350 acres, New Jersey’s deepest lake at 180 feet, another critical Raritan system reservoir) are both within just a few miles of Lebanon Borough. These extraordinary reservoirs — managed by the NJ Water Supply Authority and delivering water to millions of New Jersey residents — form the heart of the Spruce Run-Round Valley Recreation Area, one of New Jersey’s most popular state recreation areas for fishing, boating, swimming, and camping.
Lebanon Borough’s position adjacent to these reservoirs and within the New Jersey Highlands Water Protection Area (New Jersey Highlands Water Protection Area) gives properties throughout the borough a direct environmental connection to one of the most important water supply watersheds in the state. Annual backflow certification for Lebanon Borough properties on the public water supply contributes to protecting the quality of the broader Spruce Run-Round Valley watershed — a meaningful public health and environmental benefit that extends well beyond the borough’s small footprint.
Lebanon Borough Downtown and Victorian Heritage
Lebanon Borough’s Main Street downtown has a small collection of local businesses, professional services, and community establishments that reflect the practical commercial character of a small Hunterdon County borough. The borough’s Victorian-era commercial and residential architecture gives it an authentic 19th-century small-town character that has been well maintained, and the surrounding streetscape reflects the kind of community investment that has preserved Lebanon Borough’s identity despite development pressures in the broader Route 22 corridor.
Any food service operations or businesses with commercial water connections in Lebanon Borough require RPZ assemblies and annual Lebanon Borough water department certification.

Lebanon Borough and Lebanon Township — Two Distinct Communities
Lebanon Borough and Lebanon Township are two entirely separate municipalities that happen to share a name — a common feature of New Jersey’s municipal landscape, where boroughs were frequently carved out of larger townships in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and retained the township name. Lebanon Borough (incorporated as a borough in 1924) occupies a small area at the center of the larger Lebanon Township, which completely surrounds it. The two municipalities have separate governments, separate tax bases, separate school district affiliations, and separate water service arrangements: Lebanon Borough has its own municipal water system, while Lebanon Township is primarily served by private wells.
South Jersey Backflow serves both Lebanon Borough and Lebanon Township as part of our comprehensive Hunterdon County coverage. For Lebanon Township properties on private wells with any public water connections, see Lebanon Township‘s dedicated page for water service information.
