Water Authorities Serving Cape May County — Who We File With
Cape May County Municipal Utilities Authority (CMCMUA)
The Cape May County Municipal Utilities Authority (CMCMUA) is the primary water and wastewater authority for the majority of Cape May County’s municipalities, operating a regional water supply system that draws from the Cohansey Aquifer and distributes treated water throughout the county. The CMCMUA serves Cape May City, West Cape May, West Wildwood, Wildwood City, Wildwood Crest, North Wildwood, Sea Isle City, and other communities. The CMCMUA enforces cross-connection control requirements under N.J.A.C. 7:14B for all connected properties. South Jersey Backflow has maintained current CMCMUA filing protocols for years and files all Cape May County CMCMUA test reports directly.
Ocean City Water Department
Ocean City operates its own water utility, maintaining water distribution throughout America’s Greatest Family Resort. Ocean City’s water department enforces its own cross-connection control program under N.J.A.C. 7:14B for all Ocean City properties. South Jersey Backflow files directly with Ocean City for all Ocean City backflow tests.
Avalon and Stone Harbor Water Systems
The Seven Mile Island communities of Avalon Borough and Stone Harbor Borough each operate their own water systems or are served through the CMCMUA network. South Jersey Backflow identifies the applicable authority for each Seven Mile Island address and files with the correct utility.

Cape May County’s mainland townships — Dennis Township, Middle Township, Lower Township, and Upper Township — have varied water service arrangements including municipal water systems, CMCMUA service, and private well areas.
