KEARNY WATER DEPARTMENT is one of 154 community water systems in New Jersey in the 10,001 to 100,000 people size category, serving 41,664 people from surface water.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 2 entries in 1979, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 1979.

All 2 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.

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.
