Backflow Testing, Certification & Repair in Lawnside Borough, NJ
Lawnside Borough holds a unique and significant place in New Jersey’s history — it is one of the few self-governing African-American municipalities ever established in the United States north of the Mason-Dixon Line, incorporated in 1926 by a community that traces its roots to free Black settlement in Camden County dating back to the early 19th century. Lawnside grew from Snow Hill — an antebellum free Black community that became a stop on the Underground Railroad — into a self-sufficient African-American municipality whose residents built their own churches, schools, and community institutions. Today, Lawnside is a quiet residential borough with a fiercely proud community identity and an important historical legacy that is formally recognized and celebrated.
South Jersey Backflow provides certified annual backflow testing and certification, backflow repair and rebuild service, and backflow preventer enclosures throughout Lawnside Borough with professional service that honors the borough’s significant history and community identity.
