Many Hopewell Township residents get their drinking water from a private well. Frequent testing is encouraged to protect your family’s health. Water testing is required during all real estate transactions under the New Jersey Private Well Testing Act. Landlords are also required to test their well water once every five years and to provide each tenant with a copy of the test results. Otherwise, it is recommended to test your private well drinking water at the intervals below:
- Every year (at least): Total coliform, nitrates, and pH
- Every five years: Lead, VOCs, arsenic, iron, and manganese
- At least once: Mercury, gross alpha, and uranium
