Water Quality
Water Quality and Testing
The Nutley Water Department routinely monitors for contaminants in your drinking water according to federal and state laws. As water travels over the land or underground, it can pick up substances or contaminants such as microbes, inorganic and organic chemicals, and radioactive substances. All drinking water including bottled drinking water may be reasonably expected to contain at least small amounts of some constituents. It is very important to remember that the presence of these contaminants does not necessarily pose a health risk.
Passaic Valley Water Commission (PVWC) did all the required testing of our water supply. The Township of Nutley sampled and tested water throughout the township for:
- Chlorine Residuals
- Coliforms
- Haloacetic Acids
- Iron and Manganese
- Lead and Copper (tested in September 2008)
- Radionuclides (tested by the State in 2001)
- Trihalomethanes
Water Quality Report
United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations require that all public water systems issue an annual Water Quality Report. The intent of this regulation is to inform consumers about the source and quality of their drinking water, and to assemble this information in an easy to read format.
The Water Quality Report is mailed out annual to all Water Department customers. Additional copies of the report are available upon request.
