Questions
Frequently asked questions
Is Pennsville tap water safe to drink?
PurityMap does not give a safe/unsafe verdict; it shows what the public records measured. For Pennsville, PFOA 19 ng/L was measured above the 4 ng/L federal limit in EPA's 2024 testing. PENNSVILLE TWSP. WATER DEPART. (PWSID NJ1708001) has a Purity Score of 57/100 (confidence: moderate), assessed at the water-system level and computed only from contaminants that were measured. Water can change in your own pipes, so a certified test is the only way to know what comes out of your tap.
Who provides tap water in Pennsville?
PENNSVILLE TWSP. WATER DEPART. (PWS ID NJ1708001) is the public water system on record for Pennsville, New Jersey, serving about 13,500 people. Confirm the utility on your water bill before acting on a specific finding.
Where does Pennsville get its drinking water?
Groundwater (primary source of record in EPA SDWIS).
Are PFAS "forever chemicals" in Pennsville's water?
Yes. In EPA's UCMR 5 testing (2023-02-07 to 2023-12-19), PFOA was measured at 19 ng/L against a 4 ng/L federal limit. PFHxA (37 ng/L, below the 400,000 ng/L state limit) was also detected. PFBA (20 ng/L), PFHpA (15 ng/L) and PFPeA (35 ng/L) were also detected; they have no federal or state limit. Reverse osmosis and filters certified to NSF/ANSI 53 for PFOA/PFOS reduce them at the tap.
Is there lead in Pennsville's tap water?
Lead is not in Pennsville's current published record. Lead usually enters from a building's own pipes and fixtures, so a certified home test is the way to know yours.
What does the latest Pennsville water report show?
PurityMap's current record for Pennsville holds 31 findings: 1 above a reference, 1 detected within the reference, 3 detected with no limit and 26 not detected. Each finding links to its dated public record; a parameter that was never monitored is shown as pending, not as a pass.
