Water Sources:
Jackson Township's water comes entirely from confined aquifers. Our primary source is the middle Potomac-Raritan-Magothy (PRM) formation at approximately 1,400 feet deep. Secondary sources include the Upper PRM (960 feet deep), the Englishtown Aquifer (500 feet deep), and the Vincentown Aquifer (200 feet deep). With proper management, these sources will provide Jackson Township with abundant clean water for generations to come.
