Service territory: HIFLD Electric Retail Service Territories (map dated Aug 2023). Prices and customers: EIA-861, 2025.
Water comes from Medford Twp Dept of Muni
Medford Twp Dept of Muni supplies Medford Township: about 80% of residents live in its service area. About 19% of homes are outside any mapped community water system, most likely on private wells, which EPA doesn’t regulate. It buys treated surface water (EPA lists Nj American Water - Mount Holly as seller) and serves 17,272 people in all.
No health-based violations reported to EPA in the five years to October 2026, like 83% of the 3,525 systems serving 10,001–50,000 people. 1 older violation is still open, since 2005: a disinfection byproducts requirement (Stage 1 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule), per EPA’s records.
The latest lead result on file, the 90th percentile of homes sampled in Jan 2024–Dec 2026, was 0.0 ppb, below the 15 ppb action level that applied. Results below detection are reported as 0, so 0 doesn’t mean no lead at any tap.
