Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst -- Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, NJ. – Joint Base officials from the 87th Civil Engineer Group and the 87th Aerospace Medicine Squadron released the 2016 Consumer Confidence Reports (CCRs) for the McGuire and Dix water systems as of Dec/31/2016.
The CCR is a federally-mandated document summarizing annual drinking water testing results for public water systems registered with the State. The 87th Civil Engineer Group maintains the base’s water systems. The 87th Aerospace Medicine Squadron collects samples of the base’s drinking water system and sends water samples to the state for analysis to ensure the water is safe to drink.
Each 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.
