<p class="MsoBodyText"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:10.0pt">"Our
water resource is drawn from the Potomac- Raritan- Magothy aquifer, using our
four wells.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>We have two water
treatment plants, Treatment Plant # 01 is located at the corner of Leaf Avenue
and Bell Road and uses wells # 4 and # 5, which are drilled 560 feet deep.
Treatment Plant # 02 is located on Warren Avenue and uses wells # 3 and # 6,
which are drilled to a depth of 359 feet.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Both
of the treatment facilities use filters containing Manganese Greensand as the
filter medium. <o:p>

<p class="MsoBodyText"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:10.0pt">In
order to conserve water, the odd-even outdoor water usage schedule is utilized
to conserve water during the peek usage summer months.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</span>We have to use this system in order to stay under our 353 million gallons
of water the state allows us to take out of the aquifer each year. If we would
surpass the 353million-gallon quota, we would have to buy water from New Jersey
American Water, which would nearly triple your water bill.<o:p>

<p class="MsoBodyText"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:10.0pt">In
order to remove viruses and bacteria from the water, the Bellmawr Water
Department chlorinates its water.</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:10.0pt"> <o:p>

</span></p>
<p class="MsoBodyText"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:10.0pt">Fluoride
is naturally present in the water, so we do not add any additional fluoride. Our layest fluoride tests where taken June 30, 2003. Our Warren Avenue plant is 0.2mg/l and Leaf and Bell Plant 0.3mg/l. Our next Fluoride test will be taken in the year 2006.<o:p>

<p class="MsoBodyText"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:10.0pt">We
at Bellmawr Water flush fire hydrants twice a year to remove sediment and to
make sure the hydrants are in proper working condition. To reduce the chance of
experiencing discoloration of water being used in the morning hours, we flush
hydrants between the hours of 11:00PM and 3:00AM.</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:10.0pt"> <o:p>
