Mt. Olive Township residents can have their well water tested for commonly occurring bacteria, nitrates and other contaminants. The Township Environmental Commission and the Raritan Headwaters Association (RHA) are sponsoring reduced-cost well tests. A basic test for coliform bacteria and nitrates costs $60. Other testing options are available for additional costs. The well-testing kits contain easy-to-follow instructions. Kits may be purchased on Saturday, April 27 and Sunday, April 28 at the Municipal Building between 9:00 a.m. and 12:00 noon.

Payment is by check only, made out to RHA. The water samples must be dropped off on Monday, April 29 at the Municipal Building between 7:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m.
