Properties with private wells are not subject to the annual testing requirements of N.J.A.C. 7:14B backflow regulations (which applies to public water supplies), but well-connected properties that have cross-connections between the well system and any non-potable source should evaluate those connections for appropriate backflow protection. Where any public water connections exist in Franklin Township (Hunterdon County), the applicable water authority administers cross-connection control requirements under N.J.A.C. 7:14B backflow regulations. South Jersey Backflow can assess both public-connected and well-connected properties throughout Hunterdon County. contact South Jersey Backflow for a property-specific consultation.
