Water in Mountainside is Very Hard
According to our proprietary data, the average total water hardness in Mountainside is 11.1 grains per gallon (gpg), which falls in the hard range. This means there’s a lot of calcium and magnesium in the water here — two minerals that can build up over time and leave behind residue in your pipes, appliances, and fixtures. This buildup can make things less efficient and even shorten the life of your home’s systems if left unchecked.

Mountainside, NJ water sources
A recent investigation by Prism reveals that homeowners in Mountainside, NJ and surrounding areas have been exposed to PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) contamination in their drinking water for nearly a decade. The analysis of water quality reports from major New Jersey suppliers, including Middlesex Water Company and New Jersey American Water’s Raritan Basin system, shows PFAS levels that exceed the EPA’s new 4 parts per trillion limit established in April 2024. These “forever chemicals” were detected as early as 2014, with some quarterly readings reaching as high as 36 parts per trillion in certain water sources.
The contamination affects the Brunswick Aquifer, which serves multiple New Jersey communities including those in the Mountainside area. PFAS chemicals are particularly concerning because they accumulate in the human body over time and cannot be broken down naturally. According to Dr. Dibs Sarkar of Stevens Institute of Technology, these chemicals can cause serious health issues including cancer, liver damage, heart problems, and developmental impacts in children. Despite knowing about PFAS presence since 2006, many water treatment facilities in the region are still using outdated filtration systems, with some dating back to the 1920s, highlighting the critical need for modern water treatment solutions in New Jersey homes.
