D.N. Drilling does well drilling in Sicklerville and across the rest of Winslow Township, Camden County. We work out of Vineland and Clayton, so the run up here is a short one. Winslow is the county's largest township by area, close to 58 square miles. Roughly 80 percent of that sits inside the Pinelands National Reserve, which shapes how people here get water. Sicklerville Road and Williamstown Road run up through the built-up west end toward Route 30. Where a township water main runs past the property line, Winslow's code makes you hook up to it. East of there, out toward Cedar Brook, Blue Anchor, and Tansboro, the roads have always run on private wells.
The ground under Sicklerville is Pine Barrens sand, and that sand is why wells work well here. It is part of the Kirkwood-Cohansey aquifer, the same water table Winslow Township's own supply wells draw from. The sand is shallow and it gives up water without a fight. Chemistry is the harder part of the job. Water out of this aquifer runs acidic and soft, and it comes up carrying iron. So we drill the hole, then size treatment to whatever the water test reads. We pull the NJDEP well permit before the rig rolls in, and we set pump and tank the same trip.

Winslow Township sits on the outer coastal plain. The top of that stack is Cohansey sand, loose and thick and full of water. Geologists group it with the layer below as the Kirkwood-Cohansey aquifer system. It is unconfined, so rain soaks straight down and recharges it. The township's own Sicklerville water system pumps nine wells out of that same water table, plus the Mount Laurel-Wenonah below it. A private well on your lot draws the same sand. That makes the drilling part predictable. Depth comes down to your lot and where the water table sits.
The chemistry is where the work is. Pine Barrens groundwater is naturally acidic. USGS work on the Kirkwood-Cohansey puts the median pH near 4.9. That is soft, low-alkalinity water, and it eats at copper pipe and fixtures. Out in the cedar swamps you can see the other half of it. That tea-colored water gets its stain from cedar tannins and from iron in the sand. In a house it shows up as blue-green staining in the tub and orange streaks in the toilet. So we test before we size anything. An acid neutralizer, an iron filter, or both get picked off the numbers.
Two calls come in most often. The first is a new well on a lot that never had one. That comes up on rural Pinelands lots where the water has to come from the ground. We pull the NJDEP well permit first. Then the rig comes in and we set casing and screen at the depth the sand calls for. The second call is a replacement. A well drilled in the 1960s for a farmhouse off Route 73 is near the end of its life. The casing rusts through and the screen silts in. Drilling a fresh one beside it usually costs less than chasing the old one.
The rest of the calls are about what sits on top of the well. Pumps quit, usually at the worst time, and we run pump repair around the clock. Pressure tanks waterlog and short-cycle the pump until it burns up. Older places still on a jet pump get more water out of a submersible, so we convert them. A household that outgrew its pressure goes to a constant pressure system. When a home ties into the township main, the old well comes out of drinking service. Winslow does let a disconnected well stay on for irrigation once the owner files a letter with the utility. If it is coming out for good, we seal it to NJDEP standards.
