What Makes Haddonfield's Water Unique?
Local geology and source profile
Haddonfield, New Jersey, in Camden County — a Camden County borough adjacent to Cherry Hill and Collingswood in the 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 40.5 mg/L hardness and very low TDS of 62.6 mg/L make Haddonfield's water among the softest in New Jersey — the Cretaceous Kirkwood Formation and Cohansey Sand are both highly insoluble quartz sand and gravel formations in the New Jersey Pinelands, contributing negligible dissolved minerals to the pristine acidic Camden County groundwater (compare Cherry Hill NJ: 38/58 in Camden County comparable; Collingswood NJ: 42/66 in Camden County comparable; Haddonfield 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 40.5 mg/L with TDS 63, Haddonfield 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 5.2 ppt warrants a certified drinking water filter. Review New Jersey American Water's annual water quality report.
Geology & Source: Haddonfield 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 40.5 mg/L with TDS 62.6 mg/L.
