Hillsborough Township Private Well Testing Act Report
Many residences in Hillsborough Township get their potable water from a private well.
Historically, potable wells were only required to be tested for quality after the well was first drilled/installed. In 2002, New Jersey passed the Private Well Testing Act (PWTA), which made it a law that all potable wells must be tested for a wide range of possible contaminants at the time of sale of the property, or every 5 years if the property is being leased.
NJDEP estimates that since the PWTA began in 2002, 25% of the state's approximately 400,000 private domestic potable wells have been tested by the PWTA. While test results are required to be sent to NJDEP by the testing laboratory, specific results are not made available to anyone, including local health departments. Instead, NJDEP has developed an online map of NJ, where results of testing are available based on 2 mile square blocks (to access this map, go to https://njdep.maps.arcgis.com/apps/MapSeries/index.html?appid=826ec9fae77543caa582a787d5f088e7).
While testing results are only provided by 2 mile square blocks, this information is still very useful to both residents and government officials alike, as it can be used to determine what possible contaminants are most likely to be an issue in a particular area.
IMPORTANCE OF REGULAR WELL TESTING
If you have a potable well, it is extremely important that you regularly have it tested for quality to ensure the water you are drinking and bathing in is safe. Even if you had your well tested in the past and no contaminants were found, it is advisable that you follow the recommended testing time frame (see section below titled “Recommended Testing Time Frame” below). The Hillsborough Health Department strongly recommends that anyone with a private well should have it tested annually for bacteria and nitrates, and at least periodically for the full range of contaminants required by the PWTA.
HOW TO USE THIS REPORT
The included map of Hillsborough Township is divided into 2 square mile grids. While testing laboratories are required to submit the results of these tests to the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP), NJDEP does not make publicly available any confidential information regarding the results of individual wells. Instead, they only provide general results based on areas within the municipality where the tests were conducted.
Locate the grid where your home is, and look at the corresponding data reported through testing by the PWTA. Results indicated in this report represent 1) the constituent tested (ex: nitrate, Arsenic, etc), 2) the percent of wells tested in that grid that exceeded, and 3) the total number of wells that have been tested in that grid under the PWTA. This information will be useful to you when trying to determine what you may want to have your well tested for. SPECIAL ATTENTION should be given to items noted in BOLD, as these figures represent exceedances of 10% or more of wells tested in that grid.
** PLEASE NOTE THAT THESE RESULTS ONLY REPRESENT A SAMPLING OF WELLS. Results of your well water may be significantly different than those listed.

**PLEASE NOTE:
- Data listed by the PWTA report, as well as this document, may significantly underestimate the presence of Gross Alpha contamination, especially in areas of significant bedrock, such as the Sourland Mountain region of Hillsborough. Testing for Gross Alpha contamination went into effect in 2018, which is the last year that the PWTA report data was taken for this report (2002 - 2018). Residents, especially those who reside near the Sourland Mountain region, should seriously consider testing for the presence of Gross Alpha at least once.

SOURCES OF CONTAMINATION, HEALTH IMPACTS, & REMEDIATION
As can be seen from the above noted data, the most commonly exceeded parameter in Hillsborough Township is Arsenic. Since arsenic in drinking water has significant potential health impacts, it would be strongly recommended for residents with wells to test for arsenic, even if the specific grid they live in did not show a significant percent of exceedances.
*The following is not a complete list of potential health impacts or remediation.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) standards for drinking water fall under two different categories: Primary and Secondary Standards. Primary Standards are based on health considerations and are designed to protect people from three classes of pollutants: pathogens, radioactive elements and toxic chemicals. Secondary Standards are based on taste, odor, color, corrosivity, foaming and staining properties of water.
Below is a list of basic information regarding the reported contaminants, including common remediation for each. For more information, please refer to NJDEP
Arsenic (Primary Standard)
- Source: Naturally occuring in rock.
- Potential Health Impacts: Can increase your risk of cancer, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease.
- Recommended testing frequency: At least once.
- Remediation: Distillation; Granular Ferric Adsorption.
Fecal Coliform / e.Coli (Primary Standard)
- Source: found in the stomach of warm blooded animals, as well as human and animal waste. Old wells with no or limited casing, or wells that do not have casing extending above-grade are easily contaminated.
- Potential Health Impacts: Gastro-intestinal problems, dysentery.
- Recommended testing frequency: Every year.
- Remediation: Chlorination; UV light; microbial purifier.
Nitrate (Primary Standard)
- Source: Naturally occuring, but is also from human sources such as septic systems.
- Potential Health Impacts: Impairs ability of blood to carry oxygen. Especially dangerous to babies, can cause “blue baby syndrome”.
- Recommended testing frequency: Every other year.
- Remediation: Reverse Osmosis.
Gross Alpha (combined measurement of radioactivity from Radium & Uranium; Primary Standard)
- Source: Naturally occurring from decay of rock.
- Potential Health Impacts: increased risk of cancer, kidney damage, etc.
- Recommended testing frequency: At least once.
- Remediation: Ion exchange system; reverse osmosis.
VOC (Volatile Organic Chemicals; Primary Standard)
- Source: Gasoline, solvents, degreasers
- Potential Health Impacts: Can cause cancer, damage to the central nervous system & liver.
- Recommended testing frequency: at least once.
- Remediation: Activated carbon filtration; Reverse osmosis.
Manganese (Secondary Standard)
- Source: Naturally occurring in rock.
- Potential Health Impacts: can cause problems with memory, attention, learning problems in babies.
- Recommended testing frequency: Every 5 years.
- Remediation: Ion exchange.
Iron (Secondary Standard)
- Source: Naturally occuring in soil / rock.
- Potential Health Impacts: Usually does not present a health risk at levels occurring in wells. Some harmful bacteria require iron to grow, so iron in water can make it more difficult to get rid of bacteria.
- Recommended testing frequency: Every 5 years.
- Remediation: Air Stripping (packed tower aeration) with filtration; Ion exchange.
pH (Secondary Standard)
- Source: naturally occurring.
