FAIR LAWN WATER DEPT is one of 154 community water systems in New Jersey in the 10,001 to 100,000 people size category, serving 35,564 people from surface water.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 12 entries between 2014 and 2020, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2020.

All 12 are monitoring and reporting requirements — the category that accounts for about four in five of all violations in EPA's national dataset — rather than findings about the water itself. The record involves volatile organic chemicals, the Lead and Copper Rule, and the Stage 1 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule.

What is a Consumer Confidence Report?

A Consumer Confidence Report (CCR) is the annual drinking water quality report that community water systems must provide to the people they serve. It lists the contaminants detected in the system’s water during the year, where the water comes from, and how the results compare with federal limits. EPA’s revised CCR rule takes effect January 1, 2027, and the first reports in the new format are due July 1, 2027.
