How does Lunds Fisheries Inc. compare with other water systems in Cape May County?
By EPA's size categories, Lunds Fisheries Inc. is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Cape May County has 161 active public water systems.

Nationally, the average active non-transient non-community water system reports serving 430 people, so Lunds Fisheries Inc. is well below that figure.
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 Lunds Fisheries Inc.?
EPA lists Lunds Fisheries Inc. 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. 142 of the 161 active systems in Cape May County (88%) are also privately owned.
Does Lunds Fisheries Inc. have drinking water violations?
EPA's records list 9 violations for this system; 4 are health-based, and the most recent began in October 2023. The violations listed here began between October 1992 and October 2023. By type: 4 contaminant level above the legal limit, 3 monitoring and reporting, 1 reporting and 1 monitoring. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (5 of them). EPA lists 6 as resolved, 2 as archived and 1 as unaddressed. 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. Unaddressed means the violation is not resolved or archived and is not yet covered by formal enforcement.
