As of July 2026, EPA records show 24 violations across the community water system(s) serving Totowa Borough, going back to the earliest EPA record. None were health-based; the records are monitoring or reporting violations (a required test or report was late or missed). Each is listed by system below, with its status.
Monitoring Consumer Confidence Rule: a monitoring or reporting violation (a required test or report was late or missed — not a measured exceedance), recorded 5 times between July 2011 and October 2025. All have since returned to compliance, per EPA records.
Monitoring Surface Water Treatment Rule: a monitoring or reporting violation (a required test or report was late or missed — not a measured exceedance), recorded 5 times between February 2017 and October 2025. EPA records do not show all of these as returned to compliance.
Monitoring Chlorine: a monitoring or reporting violation (a required test or report was late or missed — not a measured exceedance), recorded 8 times between July 2018 and October 2025. EPA records do not show all of these as returned to compliance.
Monitoring Lead and Copper Rule: a monitoring or reporting violation (a required test or report was late or missed — not a measured exceedance), recorded 6 times between October 2015 and December 2024. 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.
