What Makes Moorestown-Lenola's Water Unique?
Local geology and source profile
Moorestown-Lenola, New Jersey, in Burlington County — a Burlington County community adjacent to Mount Laurel and Moorestown in southwest New Jersey — receives its water from New Jersey American Water, drawing from the Rancocas Creek or Coastal Plain groundwater (Burlington County) through the southwest New Jersey distribution.
The moderately soft 66.5 mg/L hardness and TDS of 116.6 mg/L are much softer than the Camden County Delaware River communities (Springdale: 165.5 mg/L) — reflecting the Burlington County Coastal Plain aquifer's more diluted sandy character with limited calcareous rock dissolution in the New Jersey Pinelands Coastal Plain geology. The Burlington County Coastal Plain aquifer — Cretaceous Raritan Formation (slightly calcareous — minor hardness contributor), Cretaceous Magothy Formation (slightly calcareous), Quaternary Kirkwood-Cohansey aquifer (sandy — primary supply, very low hardness), and Quaternary alluvial deposits.
At 66.5 mg/L, Moorestown-Lenola's water is moderately soft — light scale forms slowly in appliances, dishwashers remain efficient, and bathroom fixtures need occasional cleaning. Semi-annual descaling is appropriate. The PFAS level of 6.7 ppt warrants a certified drinking water filter — McGuire Air Force Base (Burlington County — AFFF, directly in the Burlington County corridor) contributes significantly to Moorestown-Lenola's readings.
Geology & Source: Moorestown-Lenola in Burlington County draws from the New Jersey American Water on the Rancocas Creek or Coastal Plain groundwater (Burlington County, southwest New Jersey) — the Coastal Plain aquifer at Burlington County is developed in Cretaceous Raritan Formation (slightly calcareous) and Quaternary alluvial deposits — New Jersey Burlington County Coastal Plain Cretaceous-Quaternary sandy aquifer produces moderately soft water at 66.5 mg/L with TDS 116.6 mg/L.
