Silver

Essex Fells Water Department

NOTE: Essex Fells Water Department purchases water from NJ American Water - Short Hills which is required to test for silver. Sample information shown below was taken by NJ American Water - Short Hills.

Silver occurs naturally in surface and groundwater and can be added to water as a biocide that inhibits growth of bacteria and algae. Increasingly, the use of antimicrobial nano-sized silver particles in consumer products contributes to silver in water sources used for drinking water.
