Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, N.J. -- Joint base officials from the 87th Civil Engineering Group and Aerospace Medicine Squadron released the 2016 Consumer Confidence Report for the Lakehurst drinking water systems February 6, 2017.
The CCR is a federally-mandated document summarizing annual drinking water testing results for public water systems registered with the state. The 87th Civil Engineering Group maintains the base's water systems and the 87th Aerospace Medicine Squadron monitors the base's drinking water system and sends water samples to the state for analysis.
The report includes system information and water monitoring results for biological, organic, inorganic, and radioactive substances in the water supply. The report also examines if these substances exceed federal or state limits on water-quality parameters outlined by the Environmental Protection Agency in the Safe Drinking Water Act and New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) Safe Drinking Water Act Rules.
JB MDL's water systems are registered with the NJDEP, and the water delivered to JB MDL consumers is certified safe to drink.
Hard copies are also available at the United Communities Housing Office; Balfour Beatty Housing Office; Joint Base Library; Warfighter and Family Readiness Centers; Bioenvironmental Engineering Office; and the Dix Correctional Facility.
Call Bioenvironmental Engineering at 754-9057 for health-related questions or the 87th CES at (609) 754-9057 for operations and maintenance questions.
The 2016 McGuire and Fort Dix CCR's will be released in March 2017.
