Backflow Testing, Certification & Repair in Raritan Borough, NJ
Raritan Borough is a small, historic community on the Raritan River in eastern Somerset County — a borough of approximately 6,700 residents that has been a commercial and residential center for the Raritan Valley since the 18th century. Raritan is perhaps best known as the birthplace of Frederick Frelinghuysen (a U.S. Senator and Secretary of State) and as the home of the Raritan Bay area that connects this inland valley to the broader North Jersey geography. The borough’s Hungarian-American community — established in the early 20th century when Hungarian immigrants came to work in the area’s industrial facilities — gives Raritan a distinctive cultural heritage reflected in its churches, social organizations, and the Raritan Hungarian American community’s annual events.
South Jersey Backflow provides certified annual backflow testing and certification, backflow repair and rebuild service, and backflow preventer enclosures throughout Raritan Borough for all residential, commercial, and institutional property types.
