What Makes Greentree's Water Unique?
Local geology and source profile
Greentree, New Jersey, in Camden County — a Camden County unincorporated community adjacent to Cherry Hill and Voorhees in the inner Philadelphia-area south New Jersey suburbs — receives its water from New Jersey American Water, drawing from the Kirkwood-Cohansey Aquifer through the south New Jersey distribution.
The very soft 37.5 mg/L hardness and very low TDS of 57 mg/L reflect the Camden County Pinelands Aquifer supply's very soft character — the Cretaceous Kirkwood Formation and Cohansey Sand are both highly insoluble quartz sand and gravel formations in the New Jersey Pine Barrens, contributing negligible dissolved minerals to the pristine south Jersey groundwater (compare Cherry Hill NJ: 36/55 in Camden County comparable; Voorhees NJ: 38/59 in Camden County comparable; Greentree consistent very soft from the same Camden County Pinelands Aquifer Cretaceous insoluble supply). The Kirkwood-Cohansey Aquifer — Cretaceous Kirkwood Formation (insoluble — primary dilutant), Cretaceous Cohansey Sand (insoluble — secondary dilutant), and Quaternary Pine Barrens sediment (insoluble — minimal TDS).
At 37.5 mg/L with TDS 57, Greentree has very soft water — virtually no scale buildup. Soft water can be corrosive — check for blue-green copper staining in older plumbing. The PFAS level of 5.1 ppt warrants a certified drinking water filter. Review New Jersey American Water's annual water quality report.
Geology & Source: Greentree in Camden County draws from the New Jersey American Water on the Pinelands Aquifer (Camden County, south New Jersey) — the Camden County Coastal Plain draws from Cretaceous Kirkwood Formation (insoluble) and Cretaceous Cohansey Sand (insoluble) — New Jersey Camden County Pinelands Aquifer Cretaceous insoluble supply produces very soft water at 37.5 mg/L with TDS 57 mg/L.
