WIPE OUT LEAD, MANTUA TOWNSHIP:
In a partnership with the State of New Jersey and the County of
Gloucester, Mantua Township is pleased to provide free lead pain test
kits as a public service to its residents. The kits can be obtained from
the Township Clerk during normal business hours, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Monday through Friday. The Office of the Township Clerk is located at
401 Main Street, Mantua, New Jersey 08051.
Lead paint is highly toxic metal, which can pose a danger to ones
health, especially children who are six years old or younger. Homeowners
whose residences were built in 1978 or earlier are urged to have their
homes tested. Exposure to lead-contaminated dust derived from lead-based
paint, not the lead-based pain itself, is the most common way to get
lead poisoning. For more information, stop in the Office of the Township
Clerk or call at 856-468-1500 ext. 113.
