Exceedance Type and Notification Period

Exceeding the MCL for PFOA is considered a Tier 2 Violation

meaning it is not an emergency, acute threat and poses no

immediate health risk.

Nonetheless, we were required to issue NJDEP approved

language to all customers who receive any amount of water

from the groundwater treatment facility. We are not able to

accompany that notice with any public education to further

explain the notice which is why we have added so many

resources to our website.

Developing the notification language and audience, and

obtaining NJDEP approval takes time – as does printing and

mailing. The mailing was completed within DEP guidelines.
