The Importance of Water Treatment for Homes on City Water

Why Water Treatment Matters for Southern New Jersey Homes

If you live in Cape May, Atlantic County, or other areas along the southern New Jersey shore, it’s important to know what’s in your tap water. While public utilities treat water to meet basic safety standards, harmful contaminants can still remain. Chemicals like bromodichloromethane, haloacetic acids, and trihalomethanes often exceed health guidelines, potentially impacting your family’s health and home.

According to the Environmental Working Group’s Tap Water Database, city water in many parts of southern New Jersey contains contaminants that surpass recommended limits. For instance:

• Haloacetic Acids (HAA9): Up to 242x higher than health guidelines
• Total Trihalomethanes (TTHMs): 99x above recommended levels
• Bromodichloromethane: 52x higher than guidelines

These chemicals can lead to long-term health risks, making it essential for homeowners to invest in water treatment solutions that go beyond basic city water standards.

Common Water Quality Concerns in Southern New Jersey

Even city-treated water can have impurities that affect your health, plumbing, and appliances. Some of the most common issues in homes throughout Cape May and Atlantic Counties include:

• Chlorine Byproducts: Compounds like trihalomethanes (TTHMs) form when chlorine reacts with organic matter. While chlorine disinfects water, its byproducts have been linked to cancer and other health concerns.
• Hard Water Minerals: High levels of calcium and magnesium lead to scale buildup in pipes, water heaters, and appliances, reducing efficiency and increasing repair costs.
• Sediments and Rust: Older city water infrastructure can release rust and sediments into your water supply, leaving it cloudy or discolored.

These issues highlight the need for advanced water filtration systems to ensure safe, high-quality water for drinking, cooking, and daily use.
