MONTAGUE WATER CO. is one of 174 community water systems in New Jersey in the 501 to 3,300 people size category, serving 1,983 people from groundwater.
As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 6 entries between 2005 and 2018, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2018.
All 6 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 and the Lead and Copper Rule.
