The short answer

2 results are above the health goal. The worst: Uranium, above the health goal. 1 health-based violation since 2016.

What handles it

What was found

Copper: EPA’s file records a utility’s copper only when it exceeds the action level. The last here was 1.9 ppm, for the period ending Dec. 31, 1996. None since is on file, so it is not counted as a current finding.

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

Uranium, chromium (total) and fluoride: EPA’s compliance monitoring file, samples taken from Aug. 29, 2012 to Oct. 10, 2018. Newer results are in the utility’s annual water quality report.

Above the health goal2

Uranium

Above the health goal

5.3ppb

Highest yearly average, 2012 to 2018

2018, one sample: 2.9 ppb

Averaged by year, the highest was 5.3 ppb, in 2012: below EPA’s legal limit of 30 ppb, but above its health goal of zero. In 2018, the latest year on file, its one sample was 2.9 ppb.

What handles it

Arsenic

Above the health goal

0.92ppb

Highest yearly average, 2021

Averaged by year, the highest was 0.92 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. Earlier, from 2012 to 2019, EPA’s file shows a highest yearly average of 2.5 ppb, in 2012.

Highest yearly average, 2020 to 2023

Averaged by year, the highest was 1.8 ppm, in 2023, below EPA’s legal limit of 10 ppm. That was also the latest year on file. Earlier, from 2012 to 2019, EPA’s file shows a highest sample of 2.0 ppm, in 2015.

2018: not found

Averaged by year, the highest was 0.83 ppb, in 2015, below EPA’s legal limit of 100 ppb. Its highest single sample was 0.9 ppb. In 2018, the latest year on file, it wasn’t found in its one sample.

  • Fluoride
  • Lead

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

    Claims: Uranium, Arsenic (Pentavalent)<=50 ppb Reduction

    For: Uranium, 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), nitrate and haloacetic acids (HAA5) results here are New Jersey’s yearly averages as CDC publishes them, from 2020 on, with EPA’s national file for 2012 to 2019. Uranium, chromium (total) and fluoride come from EPA’s file alone, which ends in 2019. Veolia Water New Jersey Lake Glenwood’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 Aug. 29, 2012 to Oct. 10, 2018.

Testing your own tap

Veolia Water New Jersey Lake Glenwood’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.
