All New, Resale and Rental homes
that have a private well for drinking water must have
their well water tested before they can be occupied,
sold or rented. A laboratory certified by the New Jersey
Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) must
sample and analyze the water in accordance with Ocean
County Board of Health Ordinance 94-1.
This law requires specific testing
of the well water for a variety of contaminants and
chemical parameters (set forth in section 8A of the
ordinance). Wells that require testing fall under 3
categories: (1) Resales,
(2) Rentals, and (3) New Wells.
The Ocean County Ordinance 94-1 requires specific testing of the well water for a variety of contaminants and chemical parameters where a Certificate of Occupancy is required. Testing includes a standard PWTA Parameter test (Total Coliform Bacteria, pH, Iron, Manganese, Lead, Mercury, Nitrate, Volatile Organic Scan and Gross Alpha Analysis) plus Turbidity, Sodium, and Arsenic.
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.
- Reports hand delivered to the
Ocean County Health Department.
- Water Analysis Certification
hand delivered to you.
- Technical Service and
Personal Attention.
