What is in the water at 08108
3 public water systems serve this ZIP code in the federal records. Everything below comes from EPA monitoring data, and everything missing is named.
COLLINGSWOOD WATER DEPAR
PWSID NJ0412001 · NJ · serves 24,500 people
PFAS and lithium
1 compound detected at or above the reporting limit under EPA’s UCMR 5 monitoring, across 2 samples.
| Compound | Highest detected | Samples | Most recent |
|---|---|---|---|
| lithium | 22 µg/L | 2 | 5/22/2023 |
A detection is a measurement, not a violation and not a health finding. EPA states that UCMR 5 results do not indicate compliance or non-compliance with any limit.
Health-based violations
No open health-based violation on record. This covers MCL, treatment technique and MRDL violations in SDWIS that have not been returned to compliance. It excludes monitoring and reporting violations, which are the large majority nationally, so this is not “no violations”, and SDWIS completeness varies by state.
Hardness
No hardness measurement. Hardness is measured at environmental monitoring stations, and none fell inside this system’s service area. That is a gap in where monitoring happens, not a finding about the water.

PWSID NJ0416001 · NJ · serves 11,938 people

Hardness
Median hardness 79 mg/L as CaCO₃, measured at 11 stations serving this system across 31 results, 2015-03-19 to 2023-06-01. Measured in the water source and distribution area, not at a tap, and not in your home.
What this report cannot tell you
Every figure describes water at a sampling point: a treatment plant, an entry point to the distribution system, or a monitoring station. None of it describes water arriving at your tap. Plumbing between the two can add lead and copper, and if your home was built before 1986 a test kit tells you something no federal dataset can.
