Your water in Mount Laurel
Mount Laurel Township MUA serves about 95% of ZIP 08054, roughly 41,700 people, and buys surface water from another supplier; New Jersey American Water serves a small part[1]. Nearly all of the ZIP is on public water.
In EPA's UCMR 5 sampling, the MUA reported PFOS up to 9 ppt, PFOA up to 4.5 ppt, and PFHxS up to 5.4 ppt[2]. PFOA and PFOS are above the 4.0 ppt federal limit that takes effect in 2029[3]. The MUA has no health-based violations on record, and its latest lead result was 1.8 ppb at the 90th percentile[1].
Local issues to know
- PFAS: PFOS was the highest compound reported[2]. See PFAS water filters in New Jersey.
- Hardness: we don't yet have a cited MUA figure, so we test it at your tap[4].
- Lead service lines: New Jersey law requires utilities to replace lead service lines[5]. See lead.
Utility or well? ZIP 08054: about 0% 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.
