PuraSoft Service area covers all of Somerset County
Warren Township in Somerset County, NJ, primarily receives its water from the Brunswick Aquifer.
High Mineral Content (Hardness): The water is typically moderately hard to very hard. 140-320 mg/l.This is caused by naturally occurring calcium and magnesium, which can lead to scale buildup in pipes and appliances.
Elevated Iron and Manganese: These are common natural contaminants in the Newark Group. While not health hazards at low levels, they can cause a metallic taste and brown or black staining on laundry and fixtures.
Natural Radioactivity: Parts of the Newark Basin (including the Passaic Formation) contain uranium-rich rocks. This can lead to elevated levels of radon gas and gross alpha-particle activity in untreated groundwater.
High Salinity (Local): In certain areas, particularly deeper in the formation or near tidal zones, the water can have high Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), sodium, and chloride.
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs): Due to the industrial history of Northern and Central New Jersey, traces of solvents and degreasers have been documented in this formation.
“Forever Chemicals” (PFAS): Like many NJ water sources, this aquifer is monitored for PFAS.
