The Mountain Lakes Water System is a groundwater based system, with water supplied by 4 wells. Ground water is stored below the surface in aquifers and is purified naturally as it filters through layers of soil, clay, rock and sand in a process known as percolation. Well 5 located on Route 46 is the largest water producer. To ensure the water serving the community is of the highest quality, the Water Department monitors and tests for physical, chemical and bacterial contaminants. The Department is responsible for maintaining and upgrading the distribution system, and flushes the water mains on an annual basis.
