Water Quality Snapshot: HIGH POINT REG HIGH SCHO

HIGH POINT REG HIGH SCHO is a local-owned non-transient non-community water system that delivers drinking water to 1,750 residents in WANTAGE, New Jersey (Sussex County) through 4 service connections. Its water is drawn from groundwater sources. EPA's Safe Drinking Water Information System records 120 total violations for this system , of which 5 (4%) are health-based — meaning a contaminant exceeded an EPA Maximum Contaminant Level or a required treatment technique failed. A further 115 monitoring and reporting violations are on file. The most recent violation on record dates to 2020.

The most frequently cited contaminant at this system is Coliform (TCR), recorded in 6 violations (MR). Under EPA's UCMR5 PFAS monitoring program, 1 PFAS compound was detected in samples collected from this system, with a maximum reported concentration of 12.2 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. About 95% of systems in the state carry at least one violation, and state-wide the average per system is 59.8 violations. HIGH POINT REG HIGH SCHO's 120 violations sit above the New Jersey average. Statewide, 208 of 264 UCMR5-tested systems have reported PFAS detections (78.8%).
