Backflow Testing, Certification & Repair in Matawan Borough, NJ
Matawan Borough is a small, historic community in northern Monmouth County — a compact borough along Matawan Creek with a fascinating history that includes the 1916 Matawan Creek shark attacks (the inspiration for Peter Benchley’s novel Jaws and the Steven Spielberg film), a beautifully preserved Victorian downtown along Main Street, and the NJ Transit Matawan-Aberdeen station providing direct rail access to New York City. With approximately 8,900 residents, Matawan has maintained its small-town identity while serving as a key community anchor for the northern Monmouth County Bayshore corridor. The borough’s Main Street revitalization, its Victorian residential neighborhoods, and its role as a commuter hub give it a multi-faceted community identity.
South Jersey Backflow provides certified annual backflow testing and certification, backflow repair and rebuild service, and backflow preventer enclosures throughout Matawan Borough for all residential, commercial, and institutional property types.

Matawan Creek and Historic Context
Matawan Creek — the tidal waterway that flows through the borough — is famous for the 1916 shark attacks that inspired American popular culture’s most enduring shark narrative. The creek and its tidal character give Matawan waterfront properties specific backflow considerations for any connections near the creek environment. Annual certification for Matawan properties contributes to protecting this historic waterway.
Main Street Commercial Revival
Matawan’s Main Street commercial district — one of northern Monmouth County’s most promising Main Street revitalization projects — has restaurants, shops, and professional services requiring backflow compliance. Every food service operation requires RPZ assemblies and annual NJ American Water certification. South Jersey Backflow provides commercial testing with direct NJ American Water filing.
