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 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, Nitrate, Arsenic, Mercury, Gross Alpha, and a Volatile Organic Scan. Also low level VOC (1,2,3-TCP), EDB, and DBCP. The Health Department may require other analyses in geographical areas where specific contamination has been found.

PFA (PFNA, PFOA, and PFOS) analysis is also required to be included in the PWTA.

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.
