Backflow Testing, Certification & Repair in Walpack Township, NJ
Walpack Township is the most extraordinary municipality in New Jersey — a township with a population of approximately 16 permanent residents, making it the least populated municipality in the entire state, and a landscape that is almost entirely encompassed by the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area. Walpack Township’s near-total inclusion within federal land ownership is the result of the federal government’s acquisition of almost all private land in the township as part of the Tocks Island Dam project in the 1960s — a dam that was never built, leaving the township’s former farmlands and communities permanently within the national recreation area. The Walpack Valley Environmental Education Center and the historic village of Walpack Center preserve glimpses of the township’s extraordinary pre-acquisition landscape.
South Jersey Backflow provides certified annual backflow testing and certification, backflow repair and rebuild service, and backflow preventer enclosures for Walpack Township property owners.

Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area
Walpack Township is essentially synonymous with the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area — the 70,000-acre national recreation area protecting the Delaware River corridor. The township’s dramatic landscape along the Delaware River, the Kittatinny Mountains, and the historic Walpack Valley give it a significance far beyond its tiny permanent population. The Tocks Island Dam controversy that resulted in Walpack’s near-depopulation is one of the most significant conservation stories in New Jersey history.
New Jersey's Least Populous Municipality
With approximately 16 permanent residents, Walpack Township holds the remarkable distinction of being New Jersey’s least populous municipality — a government that serves essentially no permanent residential population but maintains a presence as the steward of one of the most extraordinary landscapes in the state.
