Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst —
Joint Base officials from the 87th Civil Engineering Group and the 87th Medical Group released the 2022 Consumer Confidence Reports (CCRs) for the McGuire, Dix, and Hill (Lakehurst) water systems as of 2023/06/30.
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 and Pride Industries maintain the base’s water systems. The 87th Medical Group collects and oversees sample collection for McGuire and Lakehurst drinking water systems, and Pride oversees sample collection for the Dix drinking water system. All drinking water samples are sent to a State certified laboratory 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 (EPA) in the Safe Drinking Water Act (SWDA) 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 available at the United Communities Housing Office; Joint Base Library; Warfighter and Family Readiness Centers; Bioenvironmental Engineering Office; Civil Engineering Office and the Dix Correctional Facility.
