What the EPA has on record, by system
Veolia Water New Jersey Vernon Valley
5,517 served · groundwater · PWSID NJ1922026 - Health-based Lead and Copper Rule: a health-based violation (a contaminant recorded above the limit the EPA tracks), recorded 2 times in July 2023. The EPA record for these does not include a measured level. EPA records do not show all of these as returned to compliance.
What this means
A health-based violation means a contaminant was recorded above the limit the EPA tracks for it. A monitoring or reporting violation means a required test or report was late or missed — not that a contaminant was measured above a limit. “Returned to compliance” means the EPA recorded the issue as resolved.
