New Jersey has some of the strictest standards for public drinking water anywhere and one of the most comprehensive private well testing requirements in the country. However, it remains important to understand the impact of possible contaminants to public water supplies and private wells. The New Jersey Department of Health Drinking Water and Public Health Project provides information to the public and works together with regulators to provide the best available science for supporting safe drinking water, public education, and programs to improve the quality of drinking water to New Jersey residents.
