Source & Tap

Terms of use

Last updated November 2026

By using this site, you agree to these terms. They're short because the site is simple: it shows what New Jersey water utilities report and compares it with legal limits.

The utility's report comes first

Source & Tap shows values from utility water quality reports and other public records, next to New Jersey's and EPA's limits. The utility's own report is the authoritative source for your water, and each water system page links to it. If a value here differs from the utility's report, go by the report, and please tell us.

Not medical or professional advice

The site gives general information. It isn't medical, legal, engineering or water treatment advice, and it doesn't say whether water is suitable for any person or use. For health questions, talk to your doctor or your utility.

Information is provided as is

We check the values we publish against the original reports (see how we check the data), but reports can contain errors, results change over time, and a water system's report doesn't describe the water from your own tap. The information on this site is provided "as is", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including warranties of accuracy, completeness or fitness for a particular purpose.

Limitation of liability

To the extent the law allows, Source & Tap and the person who runs it aren't liable for any loss or damage that results from using this site or relying on its information.

Links to other sites

We link to utility reports, government agencies and product documents. We don't control those sites and aren't responsible for their content. None of our product links are affiliate links yet; see our affiliate disclosure.

Reusing our content

You can quote and chart the figures on this site if you credit Source & Tap and link to the page you used. The open dataset is released under CC BY 4.0. Our notes for journalists and researchers explain how to credit it.
