All new homes with private wells
for drinking water must have their well water tested. A
laboratory certified by the New Jersey Department of
Environmental Protection (NJDEP) must sample and analyze
the water in accordance with the Atlantic County Board
of Health requirements.
The Atlantic County
law requires specific testing of the well water for a
variety of contaminants and chemical parameters. Testing
includes a standard PWTA Parameter test (Total Coliform
Bacteria, pH, Iron, Manganese, Lead, Mercury, Nitrate,
Volatile Organic Scan and Gross Alpha Analysis). The
Health Department may require other analyses in
geographical areas where specific contamination has been
found.
County or local testing
requirements exceeding those of PWTA may incur
additional charges.
PAS removes the aggravation of
water testing by offering the following services.
- Sampling 7 days a week by
appointment – days and evenings
- Results in 2 to 5 working
days.
- Technical service and
Personal attention.
- Reports faxed and mailed to
the Atlantic County Health Department.
