272 ROUTE46

The Dover Municipal Well No. 4 site is located in the Town of Dover, Morris County, New Jersey. Dover Municipal Well No. 4 (DMW-4) is located approximately 1.5 miles east of three potable water production wells which serve a community of approximately 22,000 people. The Dover Water Commission owns and operates this municipal well field. Dover Municipal Well No. 4 was one of the town's primary drinking water supply wells until it was taken out of service in 1980 because of groundwater contaminated with volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Since that time, standby well No. 3 has been used in place of well No. 4 as a potable water production well. Site Responsibility: This site is being addressed through federal and state action
