LACEY TWP MUA is one of 154 community water systems in New Jersey in the 10,001 to 100,000 people size category, serving 29,000 people from groundwater.
As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 3 entries between 2016 and 2022, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2022.
All 3 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 the Groundwater Rule, the Lead and Copper Rule, and the Stage 1 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule.

EPA’s revised CCR rule takes effect January 1, 2027, and the first reports in the new format are due July 1, 2027.
