What does “non-transient non-community water system” mean?
A non-transient non-community water system regularly serves at least 25 of the same people for more than six months a year, but not where they live. Schools, factories, office buildings and hospitals with their own supply are typical examples. New Jersey has 637 active non-transient non-community water systems, 18% 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 Lakehurst Naval Air Engineering Station?

Does Lakehurst Naval Air Engineering Station have drinking water violations?
EPA's records list 6 violations for this system; 2 are health-based, and the most recent began in October 2024. The violations listed here began between June 1979 and October 2024. By type: 2 reporting, 2 required treatment not met and 2 monitoring and reporting. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Lead and Copper Rule Revisions (4 of them).

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. 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.
