Moorestown Exploring Possible Temporary Treatment for Radiological Elements in Water

Moorestown, NJ -- Moorestown is looking into a temporary treatment for dealing with radiological elements in its water, the Moorestown Sun reports.

Township Manager Scott Carew and Utilities Engineer L. Russell Trice proposed adding a filtration system during the April 25 council meeting. Council gave Trice approval to move forward, according to the report.

Trice said there are systems that will remove radium, gross alpha and other contaminants, one from the Calgon Carbon Corporation and one from Water Resource Technology. Trice recommended getting its filtration system from the latter company, according to the report.

Residents, including members of the Moorestown Water Group, have expressed concerns about the radiological elements in water. They have wondered why the township wasn’t addressing this problem with the temporary treatment at the North Church Street Water Treatment Plant to deal with TCP 1,2,3 and TCE.
