Frequently Asked Questions

1. Why is the water occasionally cloudy or discolored?
Our water may occasionally be cloudy or discolored for two reasons:
   -Unauthorized use of fire hydrants.
   -Bi-annual hydrant flushing for maintenance of the water supply system and fire protection system.

2. What is the fluoride level kept at?
The level is typically kept at between 0.8 and 1.2 PPM.

3. What well feeds my house?
The entire water system is looped, so there is a mix of all the wells.  However, you may receive more water from one particular well based on the location of the well compared to your home (see "Well & Tank Sites").

4. Is the water safe to drink? 
YES. The WTMUA meets all NJDEP water standards. You can review the list of contaminants tested for and the results at "Drinking Water Lab Analysis".

5) Do I need a home treatment system or bottled water?
NO. Unless you have special needs or requirements.
