Perfluorooctanoic acid
4.8ng/L
Each block = 4.0 ng/L federal MCL (2024)
Short answer: PFOA is above its federal limit (a 2024 limit that water systems have until at least 2029 to meet); 1 more is detected with no federal limit, and everything else measured is within its reference or not detected. Aqua NJ serves 44,396 residents.
Your water bill or annual water quality report names your actual supplier.
The bar is drawn in blocks of the 4.0 ng/L federal MCL (2024), so the length shows how far above it the result sits.

PurityMap does not give a safe/unsafe verdict; it shows what the public records measured. For Sicklerville, PFOA 4.8 ng/L was measured above the 4 ng/L federal limit in EPA's 2024 testing. AQUA NJ - BLACKWOOD (PWSID NJ0415002) has a Purity Score of 73/100 (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.
AQUA NJ - BLACKWOOD (PWS ID NJ0415002) is the public water system on record for Sicklerville, New Jersey, serving about 44,396 people. Confirm the utility on your water bill before acting on a specific finding.
Surface water (primary source of record in EPA SDWIS).
Yes. In EPA's UCMR 5 testing (2024-09-23 to 2025-06-03), PFOA was measured at 4.8 ng/L against a 4 ng/L federal limit. PFHxA (3.1 ng/L, below the 400,000 ng/L state limit) was also detected. PFPeA (3.1 ng/L) was also detected; it has no federal or state limit. Reverse osmosis and filters certified to NSF/ANSI 53 for PFOA/PFOS reduce them at the tap.
Lead is not in Sicklerville'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.
PurityMap's current record for Sicklerville holds 31 findings: 1 above a reference, 1 detected within the reference, 1 detected with no limit and 28 not detected. Each finding links to its dated public record; a parameter that was never monitored is shown as pending, not as a pass.
