New Jersey / Burlington County
Eastampton tap water
Eastampton's water was below both New Jersey and federal limits for every PFAS the utility reported in 2025.
Where the water comes from
Mount Holly System is a public community water system consisting of 9 wells in the Potomac-Raritan-Magothy Aquifer (PRM) and treated surface water from the Delaware River.
From the 2025 water quality report for the New Jersey American Water, Mount Holly system.
PFAS ("forever chemicals")
Each bar shows the highest running annual average in the utility's 2025 report, against EPA's national limit and New Jersey's limit. Levels are in parts per trillion (ppt).
Below the limits
Below the limits
EPA kept its 4 ppt limits for PFOA and PFOS. Utilities must meet them by 2029; EPA has proposed letting systems request until 2031.
Also detected, with no drinking water limit yet: PFHxA and PFPeA.
Hardness and lead
- Hardness
- 119 mg/L7 grains per gallon, moderately hard
- Lead, 90th percentile of home taps
- 3 ppbAction level: 15 ppb
Estimate a water softener size for your home
How it works: grains per day = people × gallons × hardness, with 4 grains added for each ppm of iron. We size up so the softener can run on its salt-saving setting, which gives roughly three quarters of its rated capacity.
Lead mostly comes from service lines and plumbing inside homes, not from the treatment plant. Your own tap can differ from the system-wide number.
What you can do
Your utility's PFAS results were below the federal limits. If you still want a filter, or you're concerned about lead from your home's pipes, look for one certified to NSF/ANSI Standard 53 for the contaminant you care about.
You can check any filter's certification on the certifiers' own sites: NSF, WQA and IAPMO.
