Backflow Testing, Certification & Repair in Lower Alloways Creek Township, NJ
Lower Alloways Creek Township is Salem County’s largest municipality by land area — an expansive, largely undeveloped Delaware Bay and tidal marsh community in the county’s southernmost section. The township encompasses vast preserved tidal wetlands, agricultural land, the community of Hancocks Bridge, and the extraordinary ecological resources of the Lower Delaware Bay shoreline. Lower Alloways Creek is perhaps best known statewide as the location of the PSEG Nuclear Salem Generating Station — the PSEG Salem Nuclear Generating Station — which sits on a peninsula into the Delaware Bay within the township’s boundaries. The combination of nuclear industrial use and vast natural preservation makes Lower Alloways Creek one of New Jersey’s most unique and ecologically significant municipalities.
South Jersey Backflow provides certified annual backflow testing and certification, backflow repair and rebuild service, and backflow preventer enclosures for Lower Alloways Creek Township property owners and the township’s limited commercial and institutional base.

The PSEG Nuclear Salem Generating Station nuclear station has its own industrial water supply system that draws from the Delaware Bay for cooling and is subject to its own comprehensive industrial water management program under NRC and NJDEP oversight.
Residential and agricultural properties in Lower Alloways Creek Township with public water connections must comply with annual backflow testing under N.J.A.C. 7:14B backflow regulations.

Hancocks Bridge Historic Community

The small community around the Hancock House (a preserved state historic site) has a handful of residential and agricultural properties. Properties in the Hancocks Bridge area with public water connections or cross-connections require annual backflow testing. South Jersey Backflow serves Hancocks Bridge properties as part of our Southern Salem County coverage.
Delaware Bay Ecological Significance
Lower Alloways Creek Township borders the Delaware Bay — one of the Western Hemisphere’s most ecologically significant waterways. The bay’s shore hosts some of the largest concentrations of migratory shorebirds on Earth during the horseshoe crab spawning season. The tidal marshes of Lower Alloways Creek are part of this remarkable ecological system. Water quality protection in this township is a matter of national ecological importance. Annual backflow certification — even for small residential or agricultural properties — contributes to protecting this irreplaceable natural resource.
