Your water in Moorestown
Moorestown Water Department serves most of ZIP 08057, about 20,700 people, and buys surface water from another supplier[1]. Small parts of the ZIP are served by New Jersey American Water and neighboring township systems.
EPA records show one health-based violation in the last three years: a lead and copper rule violation in January 2025, now resolved. The system's most recent lead result was 2 ppb at the 90th percentile[1]. In EPA's UCMR 5 sampling it reported PFOA up to 4.3 ppt, just above the 4.0 ppt federal limit that takes effect in 2029[2][3].
Local issues to know
- Lead: a lead rule violation doesn't mean every home has lead, but older homes with lead service lines or solder are at higher risk[4]. New Jersey requires utilities to replace lead service lines[5]. See lead.
- PFAS: PFOA at 4.3 ppt in EPA sampling[2]; see PFAS water filters in New Jersey.
- 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[6]. See radon and radium.
Utility or well? ZIP 08057: about 11% 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.
