--- Document: Lyndhurst Water Consumer Confidence Report Document --- Annual Drinking Water Quality Report Lyndhurst Water Department For the Year 2025 Public Water System ID # NJ0232001 2024 Consumer Confidence Report (CCR) This Report Contains Important Information about Your Water Dear Customer This report contains important information about your drinking water. The Township of Lyndhurst is pleased to provide you with important information about your drinking water. The Lyndhurst Water Department owns, operates and maintains all the water related equipment within the Township. We purchase our water from Passaic Valley Water Commission (PVWC). Both the Township of Lyndhurst and PVWC strive to provide you with water that meets or surpasses all health and safety standard set by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection. (NJDEP). In 2024, the Lyndhurst Water Department took 240 samples to ensure the safety of the water delivered to your tap. All these samples were within NJDEP guidelines/state standards. The Lyndhurst Water Department also tested for iron, manganese, copper and lead and were well within safe drinking water standards. The Lyndhurst Water Department continues to replace the water mains and service lines to your homes. This will meet and maintain State regulations with regard to copper and lead. Lyndhurst and PVWC regularly test water samples to be sure that your water meets the safety standards. PVWC also tests for several other substances as noted on the Water Quality Table. All the test results are on file with the NJDEP, the agency that monitors and regulates drinking water quality in our state. The EPA and NJDEP establish these regulations. They also require water suppliers to mail the Consumer Confidence Report (CCR) to customers on an annual basis. Please read it carefully and contact the Lyndhurst Health Department at 201-804-2500 or the Lyndhurst Water Department at 201-438-5478 if you have questions about your water, your water service or public meetings relative to water service. Or, you can call the EPA Safe Drinking Water Hotline at 800-426-4791. If you have any question about drinking water as it relates to your personal health, we suggest that you contact your health care provider. General Information Rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs and wells are sources for both tap water and bottled water. As water travels over the surface of land or through the ground, it dissolves naturally occurring minerals and, in some cases, radioactive material, and picks up substances resulting from the presence of animals or from human activity. Contaminants that may be present in source water include: • • • • Microbial contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria, which may come from sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock operations, and wildlife. Inorganic contaminants, such as salts and metals, which can be naturally occurring or the result from urban storm water runoff, and residential uses. Pesticides and herbicides, which may come from a variety of sources such as agriculture, urban storm water runoff, industrial or domestic wastewater discharges, oil and gas production, mining or farming. Organic, chemical contaminants, including synthetic and volatile organic chemicals, which are by-products of industrial processes and petroleum production and can also, come from gas stations, urban storm water runoff, and septic systems. Radioactive contaminants, which can be naturally occurring or be the result of oil and gas production and mining activities. In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, the EPA prescribes regulations which limit the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems. Food and Drug Administration regulations establish limits for contaminants in bottled water, which must provide the same protection for public health. Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. However, the presence of a contaminant does not necessarily indicate that the water poses a health risk. More information about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the EPAs Safe Drinking Water Hotline at 800-426-4791. Health and Educational Information Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water then the general population. Immuno-compromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly and infants can be particularly at risk from infections. These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health providers. EPA/CDC guidelines on the appropriate means to lessen the risk of infections by cryptosporidium and other microbial contaminants are available from the EPAs Safe Drinking Water Hotline at 800-426-4791. Special Considerations Regarding Children, Pregnant Women, Nursing Mothers, and Others Children may receive a slightly higher amount of a contaminant present in the water than do adults, on a body weight basis, because they may drink a greater amount of water per pound of body weight than do adults. For this reason, reproductive or developmental effects are used for calculating a drinking water standard, especially if these effects occur at lower levels than other health effects of concern. If there is insufficient toxicity information for a chemical (for example, lack of data on reproductive or developmental effects), an extra uncertainty factor may be incorporated into the calculation of the drinking water standard, thus making the standard more stringent, to account for the additional uncertainties regarding these effects. In the case of lead and nitrate, effects on infants and children are the health endpoints upon which the standard is based. "If present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health problems, especially for pregnant women and young children. Lead in drinking water is primarily from materials and components associated with service lines and home plumbing. [Lyndhurst Water Department] is responsible for providing high quality drinking water, but cannot control the variety of materials used in plumbing components. When your water has been sitting for several hours, you can minimize the potential for lead exposure by flushing your tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before using water for drinking or cooking. If you are concerned about lead in your water, you may wish to have your water tested. Information on lead in drinking water is available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline or at http://www.epa.gov/safewater/lead." Call us at 201-438-5478 to find out how to get your water tested. Testing is essential because you cannot see, taste, or smell lead in drinking water. "However, for those served by a lead service line, flushing times may vary based on the length of the service line and plumbing configuration in your home. If your home is set back further from the street a longer flushing time may be needed. To conserve water, other household water usage activities such as showering, washing clothes, and running the dishwasher are effective methods of flushing out water from a service line. To determine if you have a lead service line or to find out how to get your water tested for Lead., contact us at [201-438-5478]. The Lyndhurst Water Department has prepared a lead service line inventory, to access and see if your residence has a lead service line, visit the Township of Lyndhurst website. Sources of Supply The Lyndhurst water supply obtains its entire water supply from the Passaic Valley Water Commission (PVWC). Sources of supply include the Passaic River, and treated water that is supplied by the North Jersey District Water Supply Commission (NJDWSC). NJDWSC obtains water its supply from the Wanaque Reservoir. Treatment Water produced by the PVWC is treated at their water treatment plant in Little Falls. The NJDWSC supply is treated at their water treatment plant in Wanaque. The treatment at these plants includes pretreatment, sedimentation, filtration and disinfection. The Township of Lyndhurst, PVWC and the NJDWSC Water Quality Tables below list all the drinking water contaminants that were detected during calendar year 2024. The presence of these contaminants in the water does not necessarily indicate that the water poses a health risk. Unless otherwise noted, the data presented in this table is from January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2024. The NJDEP requires us to monitor for certain contaminants less than once per year because the concentrations of these contaminants are not expected to vary significantly from year to year. Some of the data, though representative of the water quality, may be more than one year old. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION The Safe Drinking Water Act regulations allow monitoring waivers to reduce or eliminate monitoring requirements for asbestos, volatile organic chemicals and synthetic organic chemicals. Our system received monitoring waivers for asbestos and we are not required to monitor for synthetic organic chemicals. The MCL's listed in the following tables are set at very stringent levels. To understand the possible health effects described for many regulated contaminants, a person would have to drink two liters of water every day at the MCL level for a lifetime to have a one-in-a-million chance of having the described health effect.

Health Note Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that the water poses a health risk. More information about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the EPA Safe Drinking Water Hotline at 800-426-4791. Bottled Water or Tap Water? The sources of drinking water (both tap water and bottled water) include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs and wells. As water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground, it dissolves naturally occurring minerals and, in some cases, radioactive material and can pick up substances resulting from the presence of animals or human activity. Contaminants that may be present in source water include: Microbial contaminants such as viruses and bacteria, which may come from sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock operations and wildlife. Inorganic contaminants, such as salts and metals which can be naturally occurring or result from urban storm water runoff, industrial or domestic wastewater discharges, oil and gas production, mining, or farming. Pesticides and herbicides, which may come from a variety of sources such as agriculture, urban storm water runoff and residential uses. Organic chemical contaminants, including synthetic and volatile organic chemicals, which are byproducts of industrial processes and petroleum production and can also come from gas stations, urban storm water runoff and septic systems. Radioactive contaminants, which can be naturally occurring or be the result of oil and gas production and mining activities. In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, EPA prescribes regulations which limit the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems. Food and Drug Administration regulations establish limits for contaminants in bottled water which must provide the same protection for public health. So, what's the bottom line? If bottled and tap water meet the federal standards, they are both safe to drink. However, your tap water is substantially less expensive than bottled water Additional Informational Resources EPA Drinking Water website: www.epa.gov/safewater NJDEP Water Supply website: www.nj.gov/dep/watersupply American Water Works Association AWWA website: www.awwa.org EPA Safe Drinking Water Hotline: 800-426-4791 NJDEP Bureau of Safe Drinking Water: 609-292-5550 AWWA New Jersey Section website: www.njawwa.org DEFINITIONS of TERMS and ACRONYMS ABS/LAS: Alkylbenzene Sulfonate and Linear Alkylbenzene Sulfonate (surfactants) AL: Action Level; the concentration of a contaminant which, if exceeded, triggers treatment or other requirements which a water system must follow.

RUL: Recommended Upper Limit; the highest level of a constituent of drinking water that is recommended in order to protect aesthetic quality. RUL Achieved: A "YES" entry indicates the State-recommended upper limit was not exceeded. A "NO" entry indicates the State-recommended upper limit was exceeded. ΤΟΝ: Threshold Odor Number TT: Treatment Technique; a required process intended to reduce the level of a contaminant in drinking water. Turbidity: Turbidity is a measure of the cloudiness of the water, and is monitored as an indicator of water quality. High turbidity can hinder the effectiveness of disinfectants. Ug/L: Micrograms per liter WTP: Water Treatment Plant Lyndhurst Water Department Source Water Assessment Summary A State Review of Potential Contamination Sources Near Your Drinking Water The Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) has conducted an assessment of the water sources that supply each public water system in the state, including yours. The goal of this assessment was to measure each system's susceptibility to contamination, not actual (if any) contamination measured in a water supply system. The assessment of your water system, the Lyndhurst Water Department, involved: Π Identifying the area (known as the source water assessment area) that supplies water to your public drinking water system; Inventorying any significant potential sources of contamination in the area; and Analyzing how susceptible the drinking water source is to the potential sources of contamination. DEP evaluated the susceptibility of all public water systems to eight categories of contaminants. These contaminant categories are explained, along with a summary of the results for your water system, on page 3. Page 4 contains a map of your water system's source water assessment area. A public water system's susceptibility rating (L for low, M for medium or H for high) is a combination of two factors. H, M, and L ratings are based on the potential for a contaminant to be at or above 50% of the Drinking Water Standard or MCL (H), between 10 and 50% of the standard (M) and less than 10% of the standard (L). Π How "sensitive" the water supply is to contamination. For example, a shallow well or surface water source, like a reservoir, would be more exposed to contamination from the surface or above ground than a very deep well. How frequently a contaminant is used or exists near the source. This is known as "intensity of use." For example, the types of activities (such as industry or agriculture) surrounding the source. The susceptibility rating does not tell you if the water source is actually contaminated. The Consumer Confidence Report annually issued by your water utility contains important information on the results of your drinking water quality tests, as required by the federal Safe Drinking Water Act. Where does drinking water come from? There are two basic sources of drinking water: ground water and surface water. Ground water is water found beneath the Earth's surface. Ground water comes from rain and snow seeping into rock and soil. Ground water is stored in underground areas called aquifers. Aquifers supply wells and springs. Wells in New Jersey range from about 15 feet to 2,000 feet deep. Surface water is the water naturally open to the atmosphere, such as rivers, lakes, streams and reservoirs. Precipitation that does not infiltrate the ground or evaporate into the sky runs off into surface water bodies. Ground water can seep into a stream, river or other surface water body, recharging surface water bodies. Likewise, under some circumstances, surface water can seep into an adjacent aquifer. A water system obtains its water from 1) wells drilled into the ground that pump out ground water; 2) devices called surface water intakes placed on a river, stream, reservoir; or 3) both. What factors may affect the quality of your drinking water source? A variety of conditions and activities may affect the quality of drinking water source. These include geology (rock and soil types); depth of a well or location of a surface water intake; how the land surrounding the source is used (for industry, agriculture or development); the use of pesticides and fertilizers; and the presence of contaminated sites, leaking underground storage tanks, and landfills. 1 What steps are being taken now to ensure my drinking water quality? The DEP has numerous programs in place to maintain and protect the quality of our State's water resources. For example, the Safe Drinking Water Program is designed to ensure that water delivered for human consumption meets DEP's stringent health-based drinking water standards. Additionally, DEP has permitting, waste management, and clean up programs in place to avoid and control potential contamination. Key DEP drinking water protection initiatives will be phased-in over time in Source Water Assessment areas to advance existing program protections. Agricultural activities, メイデンタ Residential development Urban landuse Public supply wells Local industry Public water supply reservoir Aquifer Illustration courtesy of USGS Water treatment plant Public supply surface water intake Among the factors that may affect the quality of drinking water are the type of rock and soil and how the land is used. While some rain and snow evaporates into the sky, most of it runs off into nearby rivers and streams or seeps into the ground. Drinking water comes from underground aquifers or surface water bodies. What can you and others do to help? Federal law requires each state to establish and implement a Source Water Assessment Program. While government at the state and local levels can do their part, there are actions that you and your neighbors in homes and businesses can take now to help protect our precious and shared natural resource. Here's just a few ways you and others can help ensure clean and plentiful water for New Jersey - now and in the future. Join us today for a clean water future. In your home or business: Dispose of waste properly. Some materials such as motor oil, paint, flea collars, and household cleaners have the potential to contaminate source water. Contact your local Department of Public Works for proper household hazardous waste disposal. Limit your use of fertilizer, pesticides, and herbicides. Here are some actions that municipal and county officials/local and county planners can take and you can help encourage and support. Manage and work with owners of existing potential contaminant sources to minimize potential contamination. a Establish regulations prohibiting or restricting certain activities or land uses within the source water assessment area. Take appropriate enforcement action when necessary. Update municipal master plans to ensure greater protection. Purchase lands or create conservation easements within the source water assessment area. 2 Lyndhurst Water Department- PWSID # 0232001 Lyndhurst Water Department is a public community water system consisting of 0 well(s), 0 wells under the influence of surface water, 0 surface water intake(s), 0 purchased ground water source(s), and 2 purchased surface water source(s). This system's source water comes from the following aquifer(s) and/or surface water body(s) (if applicable): This system purchases water from the following water system(s) (if applicable): JERSEY CITY WATER DEPARTMENT, NORTH ARLINGTON WATER DEPARTMENT Susceptibility Ratings for Lyndhurst Water Department Sources The table below illustrates the susceptibility ratings for the seven contaminant categories (and radon) for each source in the system. The table provides the number of wells and intakes that rated high (H), medium (M), or low (L) for each contaminant category. For susceptibility ratings of purchased water, refer to the specific water system's source water assessment report. The seven contaminant categories are defined at the bottom of this page. DEP considered all surface water highly susceptible to pathogens, therefore all intakes received a high rating for the pathogen category. For the purpose of Source Water Assessment Program, radionuclides are more of a concern for ground water than surface water. As a result, surface water intakes' susceptibility to radionuclides was not determined and they all received a low rating. If a system is rated highly susceptible for a contaminant category, it does not mean a customer is or will be consuming contaminated drinking water. The rating reflects the potential for contamination of source water, not the existence of contamination. Public water systems are required to monitor for regulated contaminants and to install treatment if any contaminants are detected at frequencies and concentrations above allowable levels. As a result of the assessments, DEP may customize (change existing) monitoring schedules based on the susceptibility ratings. α Pathogens Nutrients Pesticides Volatile Organic Inorganics Compounds Radio- nuclides Radon Disinfection Byproduct Precursors Sources HML HML HML HML HM L HM L HML HML Wells - 0 GUDI-0 Surface water intakes - 0 Pathogens: Disease-causing organisms such as bacteria and viruses.
