Backflow Testing, Certification & Repair in Franklin Borough, NJ
Franklin Borough is one of the most mineralogically extraordinary communities in the world — a borough of approximately 4,800 residents in central Sussex County that sits atop the Franklin-Ogdensburg mineral deposit, one of the most remarkable zinc ore bodies and mineral collecting sites on Earth. The Franklin Mineral Museum and the Buckwheat Dump mineral collecting area have made Franklin Borough an international destination for mineral collectors and geologists, who come from around the world to collect the extraordinary fluorescent minerals unique to this deposit — including the bright-red zincite, green willemite, and white calcite that glow spectacularly under ultraviolet light. The former New Jersey Zinc Company operations that dominated Franklin’s economy for generations have left behind both the extraordinary mineral heritage and the environmental legacy that comes with a century of industrial mining.
South Jersey Backflow provides certified annual backflow testing and certification, backflow repair and rebuild service, and backflow preventer enclosures throughout Franklin Borough for all residential, commercial, and institutional property types.
Water Authority Serving Franklin Borough
Franklin Borough operates its own municipal water system through the Franklin Borough water department — the borough’s own water department. The Franklin Borough water department enforces cross-connection control requirements under N.J.A.C. 7:14B backflow regulations for all Franklin Borough properties. Annual backflow test reports must be submitted to the Franklin Borough water department. South Jersey Backflow maintains current submission requirements and files all test reports directly.
Franklin Mineral Museum: World's Premier Fluorescent Mineral Site
The Franklin Mineral Museum and the Buckwheat Dump — where visitors can collect specimens of the world’s most extraordinary fluorescent minerals — draw mineral collectors and geology enthusiasts from throughout the world to Franklin Borough. The museum’s operations and visitor facilities have water connections requiring annual borough water department certification. South Jersey Backflow is honored to serve this community of extraordinary geological significance.
New Jersey Zinc Company Legacy
The former New Jersey Zinc Company — which operated the Franklin mines for more than a century — is part of the industrial heritage that shaped Franklin Borough. The environmental legacy of this mining history and the community’s transition from a company town to an independent community make water quality protection in Franklin Borough particularly meaningful.
