SAFE
DRINKING WATER
The
New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJ-DEP)
has adopted a safe drinking water zero tolerance enforcement
policy. This policy
requires facilities with public non-community water systems
to routinely sample the water at the facility to sure the water
quality is acceptable. The
Passaic County Department of Health, as mandated by the NJDEP,
will pursue monetary penalties for any failure to sample for
primary contaminants, failure to perform follow up sampling when
a maximum contaminant level is exceeded for failure to provide
public notice when required.
