How does Volunteers of America compare with other water systems in Gloucester County?

By EPA's size categories, Volunteers of America is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Gloucester County has 182 active public water systems. Its population served is well below the county average of 1,628 people per system, and accounts for less than 0.1% of the 296,216 people reported by systems filed under the county. Across New Jersey, the 3,496 active systems average 2,750 people each. Nationally, the average active transient non-community water system reports serving 144 people, so Volunteers of America is about half of that figure.

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 Volunteers of America?

Does Volunteers of America have drinking water violations?

Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, none is health-based, and the most recent began in July 2025. The violations listed here began between April 2016 and July 2025. By type: 6 reporting, 3 monitoring, 2 monitoring and reporting and 1 public notice, recordkeeping or other. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Revised Total Coliform Rule (10 of them). EPA lists 9 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.
