The short answer

1 result is above the health goal. The worst: Lead, above the health goal. No health-based violations on file since 2016.

What handles it

What was found

Lead and copper: EPA SDWIS monitoring periods ending 2002 to 2023.

Haloacetic acids (HAA5), total trihalomethanes (TTHM) and arsenic: New Jersey’s yearly averages per water system, as CDC’s Environmental Public Health Tracking Network publishes them, 2020 to 2023, with EPA’s 2012 to 2019 file for earlier years.

Nitrate, fluoride and chromium (total): EPA’s compliance monitoring file, samples taken from Dec. 19, 2012 to Dec. 13, 2018. Newer results are in the utility’s annual water quality report.

Above the health goal1

Lead

Comes from pipes, often your own

Above the health goal

1.8ppb

90th percentile, 2021 to 2023

In the latest period, 9 in 10 homes sampled were at or below 1.8 ppb, below EPA’s action level of 15 ppb. The action level drops to 10 ppb on Nov. 1, 2027. EPA’s health goal for lead is zero.

What handles it

Haloacetic acids (HAA5)

Below EPA’s limits

10.2ppb

Highest yearly average, 2020 to 2023

2023: not found

Averaged by year, the highest was 10.2 ppb, in 2021, below EPA’s legal limit of 60 ppb. In 2023, the latest year on file, it wasn’t found. Earlier, from 2012 to 2019, EPA’s file shows a highest yearly average of 3.2 ppb, in 2019.

Below EPA’s limits

12.2ppb

Highest yearly average, 2020 to 2023

Averaged by year, the highest was 12.2 ppb, in 2023, below EPA’s legal limit of 80 ppb. That was also the latest year on file. Earlier, from 2012 to 2019, EPA’s file shows a highest yearly average of 4.0 ppb, in 2018.

Nitrate

Comes from the source

Below EPA’s limits

0.52ppm

Highest sample; found in 2 of 2

2013 average: 0.35 ppm

The highest sample, in 2013, was 0.52 ppm, below EPA’s legal limit of 10 ppm. That is the only year on file, and its two samples averaged 0.35 ppm.

What handles it

Fluoride

Forms or is added in treatment

Below EPA’s limits

0.095ppm

Highest yearly average, 2012 to 2018

2018: not found

Averaged by year, the highest was 0.095 ppm, in 2015, below EPA’s legal limit of 4.0 ppm. Its highest single sample was 0.1 ppm. In 2018, the latest year on file, it wasn’t found in any of its four samples.

What handles it

What handles it

A certification covers specific claims, not a whole standard. Look for these claims on the certifier’s listing, not the box. Wording varies a little: NSF writes “Lead Reduction,” WQA just “Lead.”

At the tap, or for the whole house?

Lead and copper usually come from pipes and fixtures inside or near your home. A whole-house system sits where water enters, so it cannot catch what your own plumbing adds after it. For those, the filter that counts is the one at the tap. How whole-house systems compare.

What this report can’t tell you

  • Everything else. Haloacetic acids (HAA5), total trihalomethanes (TTHM) and arsenic results here are New Jersey’s yearly averages as CDC publishes them, from 2020 on, with EPA’s national file for 2012 to 2019. Nitrate, fluoride and chromium (total) come from EPA’s file alone, which ends in 2019. Green Hills Est Prop Own’s own annual report, which it must send you every year, has newer results for those and the contaminants this page does not show.

  • Your own plumbing. Lead results are the 90th percentile across homes the utility samples. Your home’s service line, solder and fixtures decide yours. A certified lab test is the only way to know.

  • What it means for your health. This page reports what the records show and EPA’s limits and goals; it is not medical advice. If you are worried about a health effect, talk to a doctor or your local health department.

  • Anything after the latest data. SDWIS data is from 2026 Q3; UCMR 5 didn’t sample this utility; CDC’s yearly averages for New Jersey cover 2020 to 2023; EPA’s compliance samples are from Dec. 19, 2012 to Dec. 13, 2018.

Testing your own tap

Green Hills Est Prop Own’s results are for the water it sends out. What your own service line, solder and fixtures add shows up only in a test of your tap, by a lab New Jersey certifies.
