Backflow Testing, Certification & Repair in South River Borough, NJ
South River Borough is a historic, close-knit residential community on the South River (a tributary of the Raritan River) in northeastern Middlesex County — a borough of approximately 17,000 residents with a strong Eastern European heritage, particularly Polish-American and Ukrainian-American communities that settled here from the early 20th century onward. South River’s character is shaped by its waterfront position on the South River, its historic Main Street commercial district, its established residential neighborhoods with a strong community identity, and its access to Route 9 and the Garden State Parkway. The borough’s famous annual South River Polka Festival reflects the vibrant Eastern European cultural heritage that has defined this community for over a century.
