NJ DEP investigating suspected tampering after water samples showed high mercury levelsUPPER TWP., N.J. --
The commissioner said it's believed that samples pulled from wells in Upper Township last month were knowingly tampered with by someone who had access after they were taken from the wells. Those tests - conducted by a local company - came back showing dangerously high levels of mercury, according to officials.
The DEP has not named the company that produced these high samples, saying they didn't want to impugn a person or company at this point in the investigation.
