Backflow Testing, Certification & Repair in Wanaque Borough, NJ
Wanaque Borough is a small residential community in northern Passaic County whose name is synonymous with one of the most important water supply reservoirs in the northeastern United States — the Wanaque Reservoir, which along with the Monksville Reservoir forms the core of the North Jersey District Water Supply Commission’s system providing drinking water to millions of northern New Jersey residents. The Wanaque River, which gives the borough and reservoir their Lenape-derived name, flows through the borough before entering the Wanaque Reservoir just to the north. Wanaque Borough’s community of approximately 11,700 residents has a residential character shaped by its proximity to the reservoir, the Highlands landscape, and Ringwood State Park.
South Jersey Backflow provides certified annual backflow testing and certification, backflow repair and rebuild service, and backflow preventer enclosures throughout Wanaque Borough for all residential and commercial property types.

Annual backflow test reports must be submitted to the Wanaque Borough water department. South Jersey Backflow maintains current submission requirements and files all test reports directly.
Wanaque Reservoir: New Jersey's Most Important Water Supply Reservoir
The Wanaque Reservoir and Monksville Reservoir — located immediately north of Wanaque Borough, operated by the North Jersey District Water Supply Commission (NJDWSC) (North Jersey District Water Supply Commission) — is New Jersey’s largest reservoir by water volume and the cornerstone of the water supply system serving millions of northern New Jersey residents through NJDWSC wholesale customers including the PVWC, Veolia Water NJ, and numerous municipal water systems. Wanaque Borough’s position immediately downstream from and adjacent to this extraordinary water supply resource creates a heightened environmental responsibility for backflow protection: any contamination of the Wanaque River below the dam or the tributary streams in this watershed directly affects one of the most critical water supply assets in the northeastern United States. Annual certification throughout Wanaque Borough is meaningful regional water security stewardship. See why New Jersey properties need backflow preventers for the full context.
