NJ AMERICAN WATER - RARITAN is the second largest community water system in New Jersey, serving 615,430 people from surface water.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 25 entries between 2004 and 2011, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2011.

Of the 25, 23 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 Consumer Confidence Rule, and the Surface Water Treatment Rules.
