Company’s water continues to meet or surpass drinking water standards in all 190 municipalities served

New Jersey American Water’s annual Water Quality Reports are now accessible through its website at newjerseyamwater.com under Water Quality.

The annual water quality report details the quality of water supplied by New Jersey American Water against the compliance standards established by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJ DEP). It describes local drinking water sources, testing conducted on the water, substances detected, and the levels of those substances. Commonly asked questions and answers concerning local drinking water are also included.

“We are pleased to report that the drinking water we supplied to our customers is of higher quality than required by state and federal drinking water agencies. Our teams of water quality, plant operations, and water distribution professionals work hard each and every day to ensure the highest quality water and service to our customers in 190 municipalities across the state,” said Anthony Matarazzo, senior director of Water Quality and Environmental Management, New Jersey American Water. “These annual results are a testament to our employees’ dedication to excellence, and we encourage our customers to read the information provided in these reports.”
