OAKLAND WATER DEPT is one of 154 community water systems in New Jersey in the 10,001 to 100,000 people size category, serving 12,754 people from groundwater.
As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 7 entries between 2017 and 2021, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2021.
All 7 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 and the Stage 1 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule.
