ROCKAWAY TWP WATER DEPT is one of 154 community water systems in New Jersey in the 10,001 to 100,000 people size category, serving 14,000 people from groundwater.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 19 entries between 2004 and 2026, all of which EPA lists as closed.

Of the 19, 17 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 Stage 2 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule, and the Public Notice Rule and Revised PN Rule.
