Water Quality Snapshot: EAST GREENWICH TWP WATER DEPT

EAST GREENWICH TWP WATER DEPT is a local-owned community water system that delivers drinking water to 9,900 residents in MICKLETON, New Jersey (Gloucester County) through 3,650 service connections. Its water is drawn from surface water sources. EPA's Safe Drinking Water Information System records 42 total violations for this system , of which 4 (10%) are health-based — meaning a contaminant exceeded an EPA Maximum Contaminant Level or a required treatment technique failed. A further 35 monitoring and reporting violations are on file. The most recent violation on record dates to 2013.

The most frequently cited contaminant at this system is Total Haloacetic Acids (HAA5), recorded in 16 violations (MR). Under EPA's UCMR5 PFAS monitoring program, 6 PFAS compounds were detected in samples collected from this system, with a maximum reported concentration of 12 ppt. PFAS are persistent synthetic chemicals linked to health effects at very low exposure levels.

Across New Jersey, EPA tracks 3,428 public water systems serving 9,570,926 people, with 204,988 cumulative violations and 22,229 health-based violations on record.
