One of the Winslow Township fresh water wells has a common to South Jersey contaminate known as Radium. Radium is a naturally occurring contaminate that is produc by...................
Winslow Township voluntarily shut down the well until repairs and remediation system could be installed.

The State of New Jersey has also changed the required testing procedures. In the past, the water was tested after all the water was churned within the water system. Today the water is tested at each well head. This fact along with increased technology of testing the water to a higher standard, forced one Winslow Township well to fall into the category of needing remediation.

Marie Lawrence cast her vote in June not to allow for the remediation process. Nor did Lawrence offer a conceptual plan to replace the well or other alternatives.
