Your water in Marlton
Evesham MUA serves about 70% of ZIP 08053, roughly 45,500 people, and buys surface water from another supplier[1]. About 30% of the ZIP's land lies outside mapped service areas, where homes may be on private wells.
Evesham MUA's EPA record is one of the cleaner ones in South Jersey: no health-based violations on record, a 1.4 ppb lead result at the 90th percentile, and UCMR 5 samples that found only PFHxA (up to 3.8 ppt) and PFPeA (up to 3.7 ppt), with no PFOA or PFOS reported[1][2]. For most Marlton homes on MUA water, the reasons to treat are taste, disinfectant, and scale rather than a violation.
Local issues to know
- Private wells: New Jersey requires a certified-lab well test when a home is sold[3]. See our well testing guide.
- Gross alpha (radium) in wells: statewide, 10% of 99,698 tested wells exceeded 15 pCi/L, most often in Burlington, Camden, Cumberland, and Gloucester counties[4]. See radon and radium.
- Disinfectant taste and smell: see chlorine and chloramine.
Utility or well? ZIP 08053: about 30% of the land area lies outside mapped public water service areas[1]. Homes in those areas are likely on private wells, which no utility tests. If that's you, start with a free in-home test.
