Follow-up Tests Find Little or No Mercury in Residents’ Wells

PETERSBURG – DEP Commissioner Shawn LaTourette told a meeting room packed with Upper Township residents Oct. 28 that some of the water samples taken from wells in the Beesley’s Point section of town were tampered with to show there were dangerous levels of mercury in the groundwater.

“Some of the initial samples were adulterated,” LaTourette said via Zoom.
