Backflow Testing, Certification & Repair in Lakehurst Borough, NJ
Lakehurst Borough is one of New Jersey’s most historically significant communities — the site of the Hindenburg Disaster of May 6, 1937, when the German zeppelin LZ 129 Hindenburg caught fire and was destroyed at the Naval Air Station Lakehurst, killing 36 people and ending the era of transatlantic passenger airship travel. Today, Lakehurst is a small borough of approximately 2,700 residents adjacent to Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst (JBMDL), and its character is shaped by its historic identity and its proximity to the major military installation. The former Naval Air Station Lakehurst — now part of JBMDL — is a National Historic Landmark encompassing the original airship hangar where the Hindenburg disaster occurred.
South Jersey Backflow provides certified annual backflow testing and certification, backflow repair and rebuild service, and backflow preventer enclosures throughout Lakehurst Borough for all residential and commercial property owners. Military base facilities on JBMDL have their own Department of Defense water systems and compliance programs separate from our civilian service.
