Middlesex County Drinking Water Testing
All homes that have a private well for drinking water — New, Resale and Rentals — 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 Warren County Board of HeaIth requirements.
The Middlesex County law 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, Nitrate, Arsenic, Uranium, Gross Alpha, Volatile Organic Scan, low level VOC (1,2,3-TCP, EDB, and DBCP), and PFA (PFNA, PFOA, and PFOS) analysis.
County or local testing requirements exceeding those of PWTA may incur additional charges.
