PAULSBORO WATER DEPARTMENT is one of 97 community water systems in New Jersey in the 3,301 to 10,000 people size category, serving 6,097 people from groundwater.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 13 entries between 1979 and 2022, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2022.

Of the 13, 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 inorganic chemicals, volatile organic chemicals, and the Radionuclides and Revised Rad Rule.

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.
