Dear
Customer,
At United Water, our goal is to provide you with water that meets or surpasses all the
standards for safe drinking water. These health and safety standards are set by the
United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the New Jersey Department
of Environmental Protection (NJDEP). Were at work 24 hours a day, 365 days a year to
provide you and your family with top quality water and premier service.
We regularly test water samples to be sure that your water meets the safety
standards. All the test results are on file with the NJDEP, the agency that monitors
and regulates drinking water quality in our state. Both the EPA and the NJDEP require
water suppliers to provide an annual Consumer Confidence Report (CCR) for their
customers. This CCR provides important information about your drinking water. It
shows how your drinking water measured up to government standards during 2014.
Please read it carefully and feel free to call us at 800.422.5987 if you have any
questions about your water or your service. Or, you can call the EPA Safe Drinking
Water Hotline at 800.426.4791. If you have specific questions about water as it relates
to your personal health we suggest that you contact your health care provider.
We also have a Customer Advisory Panel which meets regularly to share their
suggestions and thoughts about our service. If you would like to become a member
of the panel, please write to 200 Lake Shore Drive, Haworth, NJ 08741. For more

Drinking
Water
Quality
Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than 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 care providers. EPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate
means to lessen the risk of infections by cryptosporidium and other microbial
contaminants are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline at 800.426.4791.
The table below shows how the quality of your drinking water in 2014 compared to
the standards set by the NJDEP.
