Aqua NJ’s Hamilton Well 13 PFAS Mitigation Project Receives a 2026 New Jersey’s Leading Capital Construction Project Award from NJ Alliance for Action

Project Description:

Aqua New Jersey serves over 185K people throughout 11 counties in the State of New Jersey, with water quality and continuous service as their highest priorities. In a proactive move to stay ahead of PFAS regulatory standards, Aqua New Jersey partnered with SCE to design and construct a state-of-the-art treatment facility for Well 13. This high-tempo project required the seamless integration of a new PFAS removal system situated adjacent to an existing radionuclides plant and wellhead.

​The success of this project relied on more than just technical precision; it was a high-paced endeavor that demanded constant, transparent coordination with both the local community and regulatory agencies. A key engineering challenge involved overcoming pre-existing pressure limitations within the existing tanks and treatment infrastructure. To ensure the system met critical distribution pressures without compromising existing assets, a specialized booster pump station was integrated into the final design. Despite the aggressive schedule, the team hit every milestone for 2025 completion, securing a safe, compliant, and sustainable water supply for the residents of New Jersey.
