Franklin Lakes is a mix of Veolia water customers and homes on private wells. AquaThin North Jersey, just over the Wyckoff line, tests both for free and installs softeners, iron filters, UV and reverse osmosis systems.
Designed around your plumbing and daily routine.
Veolia’s Franklin Lakes system serves roughly 5,900 residents with a blend of Brunswick aquifer wells, glacial sand-and-gravel wells and Wanaque Reservoir water. Everyone else in the borough is on a private well, which is why Franklin Lakes publishes its own well-testing guidance and New Jersey recommends that well owners test with a certified lab every year and at every home sale under the Private Well Testing Act.
Private wells in northern Bergen County commonly show hardness, iron and manganese staining, sulfur odor and low pH that corrodes copper. PFAS can also reach groundwater; Veolia now runs 12 PFAS treatment systems across New Jersey with 14 more in design or construction, but a private well has no utility treating it for you.
Our free in-home test covers hardness, iron, TDS, chlorine, pH and sulfur, and we will review your certified lab results if you have them. From there we size a softener, iron or acid-neutralizing filter, UV sterilizer or reverse osmosis system to the actual chemistry of your well rather than selling a package.
Designed around your plumbing and daily routine.
Franklin Lakes properties are big, with multiple bathrooms, irrigation and long plumbing runs from the well pressure tank. Our licensed plumber sizes equipment for peak flow so two showers and a dishwasher running together do not drop pressure, and plans bypass valves, drains and a dedicated faucet line so service is simple later.
Filter and membrane changes, softener salt delivery, UV lamp replacement and annual well-system checks are handled from our Wyckoff shop, a short drive from anywhere in Franklin Lakes.
Call (201) 208-7807 to schedule. Whether you are on Veolia water or a private well, we test at your tap, explain the results and give you a clear recommendation.
