Private wells in Atlantic County
4,995 private wells were tested here from 2002 to 2014, so many homes rely on their own well.
Atlantic County is one of the New Jersey counties where private wells most often fail the state standard for:
- Mercury
Across the region
Acidic, iron-prone well water
This area sits on the sandy aquifers of the Coastal Plain. Water in the widely used Kirkwood-Cohansey aquifer is naturally acidic, which can corrode pipes and leave blue-green stains, and some aquifers here carry a lot of iron. USGS testing also found radium above the federal limit in about a third of sampled Kirkwood-Cohansey wells in southern New Jersey.
PFAS limits
New Jersey was the first state to set limits for PFAS "forever chemicals": 14 parts per trillion for PFOA and 13 for PFOS and PFNA. Public utilities must meet them. Private wells are only tested when a home is sold or leased.
Hardness varies by town
New Jersey's median tap water is moderately hard, about 5 grains per gallon, and it changes a lot from one supplier to the next. Your water test tells you exactly where you stand.

Who supplies drinking water in Atlantic County?
It depends on the town: Atlantic City is served by Atlantic City MUA; Egg Harbor Township is served by New Jersey American Water; Galloway Township is served by New Jersey American Water (parts of town); Pleasantville is served by New Jersey American Water. If your home has its own well pump and pressure tank, your well is your supply. We install in every town in Atlantic County, on either kind of water.
What should I test my well for in Atlantic County?
New Jersey's Private Well Testing Act requires a test before a home with a well is sold, and every five years for rentals; in Atlantic County it must include mercury. Wells here are among the state's most likely to fail for mercury. The local geology also makes acidic water, iron, and radium worth checking.
