Gloucester County water treatment
Water treatment for Washington Township and Gloucester County: utility PFAS records, gross alpha in South Jersey wells, and a free water analysis.
Where Gloucester County's water comes from
Gloucester County homes get water from municipal utilities such as Washington Township MUA and Mantua Township MUA, and private wells in less developed areas. New Jersey's Private Well Testing Act requires a certified-lab well test when a home is sold, and every five years for landlords[1].
Key issues
- 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[2]. See radon and radium.
- PFAS: 11.2% of New Jersey private wells tested from December 2021 through 2023 had at least one PFAS above a state standard[1], and many utilities reported PFOA or PFOS above the 4.0 ppt federal limit that takes effect in 2029 in EPA sampling[3].
- Lead service lines: New Jersey law requires utilities to replace lead service lines[4]. See lead.

Get your water report
Enter your ZIP code to see your utility's violations, lead testing, and PFAS results from public EPA records, explained in plain English.
Data comes from U.S. EPA and Census public records. It covers public water systems, not private wells, and it isn't a test of your home's tap. If you're on a well, a free in-home test is the best way to know what's in your water.
