The South River Water, a public community water system under the Borough Department of Utilities, provides water for about 14,000 residents living in the area of South River, a borough in Middlesex County, New Jersey. Established in 1898, the South River Water System currently obtains its supply from groundwater sources including the Farrington Sands Aquifer, with three wells pumping from the middle Potomac-Raritan-Magothy aquifer, and an infiltration gallery that sources from the upper Potomac-Raritan-Magothy aquifer. The Borough of South River also utilizes a surface water source treated by Middlesex Water through an agreement with the Township of East Brunswick Water Utility.
