Sicklerville Water Hardness & Quality Report (2026)

Sicklerville, New Jersey, an unincorporated community in Gloucester Township, Camden County — a major south New Jersey suburban community, one of the largest unincorporated communities in New Jersey, a rapidly growing mixed residential and commercial corridor in south Camden County, home of the iStar Atlantic City development corridor and a major diverse South Jersey community — draws its municipal water supply from the Potomac–Raritan–Magothy (PRM) Aquifer via the Gloucester Township MUA. Water hardness in Sicklerville measures 157.5 mg/L — classified as hard.

Sicklerville's hard supply reflects the Camden County Coastal Plain aquifer's calcareous geology. The Potomac–Raritan–Magothy Aquifer in southern New Jersey is hosted in the Cretaceous Potomac Group and Raritan Formation — moderately calcareous marine and estuarine sandy sediment of the Atlantic Coastal Plain. The south Camden County section of the PRM Aquifer is at a depth where calcareous cemented layers and marine shell hash contribute dissolved calcium and magnesium. The Gloucester Township MUA's well fields in this moderately calcareous Coastal Plain zone produce the hard 157.5 mg/L at Sicklerville.

At 157.5 mg/L, Sicklerville residents face regular hard water challenges. Monthly descaling with citric acid solution is recommended for faucet aerators and showerheads. Gloucester Township MUA consistently delivers water meeting all New Jersey DEP and EPA Safe Drinking Water Act requirements.
