BUYING OR SELLING A HOME WITH A PRIVATE WELL?

This site will help you understand the requirements of New Jersey's Private Well Testing Act (PWTA) - a new law aimed at disclosing important information about private drinking water wells. Under the PWTA, certain wells must be tested before a house can be sold. Landlords of certain properties must also test for certain drinking water parameters and provide a written copy of the result to their tenants. This testing provides important information about your drinking water quality.

This site should answer your questions. If it doesn't, please click here to send us an email, or call us Toll-Free at 1-866-4PW-TEST (1-866-479-8378).
