Water Quality
Source of Supply
Shore Water Company is committed to providing our customers with high quality drinking water. Our water source is three wells that draw groundwater from the Kirkwood – Cohansey and Piney Pointe aquifer systems.
​Monitoring and Treatment
Each year, we are required to publish a Consumer Confidence Report listing all of the organic and inorganic compounds tested for in the water supply from the previous year. This report shows you the State mandated maximum contaminant level (MCL) for each compound, the range and/or average results that our water tested at for the year. We are proud to report that our company has never been in violation of the State and Federal regulations for potable water. This report is available on our web site by July 1st each year for testing done in the prior calendar year.
2025 WATER QUALITY REPORT (CCR 2025)
Samples are taken from our distribution system on a monthly basis and then analyzed by an outside laboratory, which has been certified by the State of New Jersey.

Discolored Water
Discoloration of your tap water is usually a sign that there may have been some activity that has disturbed the direction or rate of flow in the water main, such as use of a fire hydrant or water main valve in your area. Discolored water can also come from the piping in your home. This would be evident when your home is the only one on the street experiencing an issue. Discolored water comes from rust or sediments that exist in your home’s piping. The water is still safe when this occurs. The water may look unappealing, so we suggest you wait until it clears before consuming it. Every spring, Shore Water Company flushes the hydrants in the distribution system in order to minimize the occurrence of discolored water.
