The short answer

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

What handles it

What was found

Arsenic, total trihalomethanes (TTHM), haloacetic acids (HAA5), nitrate and uranium: 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.

Fluoride and chromium (total): EPA’s compliance monitoring file, samples taken from Feb. 28, 2012 to July 24, 2018. Newer results are in the utility’s annual water quality report.

Above the health goal1

Arsenic

Comes from the source

Above the health goal

1.3ppb

Highest yearly average, 2021

Averaged by year, the highest was 1.3 ppb, in 2021: below EPA’s legal limit of 10 ppb, but above its health goal of zero. That is the only year on file.

What handles it

  • NSF/ANSI 58 look for “Arsenic (Pentavalent)<=50 ppb Reduction”
  • NSF/ANSI 53 look for “Arsenic (Pentavalent)<=50 ppb Reduction”

Below EPA’s limits

19.3ppb

Highest yearly average, 2020 to 2023

2023 average: 12.3 ppb

Averaged by year, the highest was 19.3 ppb, in 2021, below EPA’s legal limit of 80 ppb. In 2023, the latest year on file, it averaged 12.3 ppb. Earlier, from 2012 to 2019, EPA’s file shows a highest yearly average of 13.9 ppb, in 2017.

7.8ppb

Highest yearly average, 2020 to 2023

2023 average: 6.7 ppb

Averaged by year, the highest was 7.8 ppb, in 2021, below EPA’s legal limit of 60 ppb. In 2023, the latest year on file, it averaged 6.7 ppb. Earlier, from 2012 to 2019, EPA’s file shows a highest yearly average of 6.8 ppb, in 2017.

Highest yearly average, 2012 to 2018

2018 average: 0.21 ppm

Averaged by year, the highest was 0.23 ppm, in 2015, below EPA’s legal limit of 4.0 ppm. Its highest single sample was 0.29 ppm. In 2018, the latest year on file, its two samples averaged 0.21 ppm.

What handles it

  • Lead
  • Nitrate
  • Uranium

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.”

  • NSF/ANSI 53

    Claim: Arsenic (Pentavalent)<=50 ppb Reduction

    For: Arsenic

    Other certifiers’ wording: Arsenic (III) (50 ppb influent level)

  • NSF/ANSI 58

    Claim: Arsenic (Pentavalent)<=50 ppb Reduction

    For: Arsenic

    Other certifiers’ wording: Arsenic (Pentavalent)<=300 ppb Reduction; Arsenic (V) (300 ppb influent level)

At the tap, or for the whole house?

These come with the water itself, so a whole-house system certified for the same claims treats every tap and shower. A filter at the tap treats drinking water for much less. How whole-house systems compare.

What this report can’t tell you

  • Everything else. Arsenic, total trihalomethanes (TTHM), haloacetic acids (HAA5), nitrate and uranium results here are New Jersey’s yearly averages as CDC publishes them, from 2020 on, with EPA’s national file for 2012 to 2019. Fluoride and chromium (total) come from EPA’s file alone, which ends in 2019. NJ American Water - Vincentown’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 Feb. 28, 2012 to July 24, 2018.

Testing your own tap

NJ American Water - Vincentown’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.
