About Bellmawr Water
Our water resource is drawn from the Potomac- Raritan- Magothy aquifer, using our four wells We have two water treatment plants, Treatment Plant # 01 is located at the corner of Leaf Avenue and Bell Road and uses wells # 4 and # 5, which are drilled 560 feet deep. Treatment Plant # 02 is located on Warren Avenue and uses wells # 3 and # 6,which are drilled to a depth of 359 feet.
Both of the treatment facilities use filters containing Manganese Greensand as the order to conserve water, the odd-even outdoor water usage schedule is utilized to conserve water during the peek usage summer months We have to use this system in order to stay under our 353 million gallons of water the state allows us to take out of the aquifer each year. If we would surpass the 353million-gallon quota, we would have to buy water from New Jersey American Water, which would nearly triple your water bill. In order to remove viruses and bacteria from the water, the Bellmawr Water Department chlorinates its water. Fluoride is naturally present in the water, so we do not add any additional fluoride. Our layest fluoride tests where taken June 30, 2003.
Our Warren Avenue plant is 0.2mg/l and Leaf and Bell Plant 0.3mg/l. Our next Fluoride test will be taken in the year 2006. We at Bellmawr Water flush fire hydrants twice a year to remove sediment and to make sure the hydrants are in proper working condition. To reduce the chance of experiencing discoloration of water being used in the morning hours, we flush hydrants between the hours of 11:00PM and 3:00AM.
