News release: “Tens of thousands of New Jersey residents are drinking polluted water, according to a new state report. Despite widespread exposure to drinking unsafe well water, state health officials ignore the risks to an unknowing public, according to Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility (PEER).

The new report from the state Private Well Testing Act Program covers the five-year period from 2002-2007 and includes samples from more than one out of eight of the estimated 400,000 private residential drinking water wells in New Jersey.”
