EAST ORANGE WATER COMMISSION is among the 19 largest community water systems in New Jersey, serving 75,000 people from groundwater.
As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 4 entries between 1979 and 2023, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2023.
All 4 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 inorganic chemicals and the Lead and Copper Rule.
