Nationally, the average active transient non-community water system reports serving 144 people, so Jcp&L is about 62% below that figure.
What does “transient non-community water system” mean?

New Jersey has 2,277 active transient non-community water systems, 65% of the state's 3,496 active systems. Groundwater means the system draws its water from wells or springs fed by underground aquifers. 3,313 New Jersey systems (95%) list groundwater as their primary source.
Who owns and regulates Jcp&L?
EPA lists Jcp&L as privately owned. The NJ state drinking water program is its primacy agency, the regulator with primary enforcement responsibility for the system under the Safe Drinking Water Act. 139 of the 210 active systems in Ocean County (66%) are also privately owned.
Does Jcp&L have drinking water violations?
EPA's records list 7 violations for this system; 2 are health-based, and the most recent began in October 2025. The violations listed here began between April 1980 and October 2025. By type: 3 monitoring and reporting, 2 contaminant level above the legal limit, 1 reporting and 1 monitoring. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Revised Total Coliform Rule (2 of them). EPA lists 4 as archived, 2 as resolved and 1 as unaddressed. Archived means the violation was not marked resolved but is more than five years past the end of the noncompliance period, so it no longer counts toward current compliance status. Resolved means at least one resolving action is on record: the system returned to compliance, the rule no longer applies, or no further action was needed. Unaddressed means the violation is not resolved or archived and is not yet covered by formal enforcement.
