These are monitoring results collected under EPA's Fifth Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Rule (UCMR 5) at entry points, where treated water enters the distribution system; they are not tap-water samples. They are not compliance determinations: compliance with EPA's 2024 PFAS limits is judged on running annual averages of compliance monitoring, required from 2029, so a single UCMR 5 result at or above a limit is not a violation. “< MRL” means the compound was not quantified at EPA's minimum reporting level; it does not mean zero.
Water purchased from
- Passaic Valley Water Commission (NJ1605002)
Seller's highest results: PFOA 11.5 ppt · PFOS 7.7 ppt · HI 0.322 · detected: PFBA;PFBS;PFHpA;PFHxA;PFHxS;PFOA;PFOS;PFPeA - Newark Water Department (NJ0714001)
Seller's highest results: PFOA 5.3 ppt · PFOS <MRL · HI 0 · detected: PFOA
Seller results are the seller's own entry-point samples, not measurements of this system's water. This system's own samples (below) may reflect purchased water, its own sources, or both.
Compared with EPA's 2024 values
| Highest single result | Worst entry-point average* | Limit | |
|---|---|---|---|
| PFOA (ppt) | — | — | 4 |
| PFOS (ppt) | — | — | 4 |
| Hazard Index | — | — | 1.0† |
“<MRL” = every result for the compound was below its reporting limit. * Mean of all samples at each entry point with non-detects = 0 (EPA compliance convention; the Hazard Index also uses non-detects = 0); a screening comparison, not a formal running annual average. † Rescission proposed May 2026. PFOA/PFOS MCL 4 ppt (2024 NPDWR, in effect). PFHxS, PFNA, HFPO-DA (10 ppt each) and the Hazard Index (1.0) are 2024 NPDWR values; EPA proposed rescinding them on 18 May 2026 (comment period closed 20 Jul 2026).
Sampling history
Sampled 2025-10-31 to 2025-10-31 · 1 entry point(s) · water types: SW · 1 sampling visits. PFAS in ppt (ng/L).
| Date | Entry point | Event | PFOA | PFOS | HI | Other detections |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2025-10-31 | PVWC Consecutive Connection (SW) | SE1 | n/a | n/a | n/a | none |
“<4” = not detected at the reporting limit shown; “n/a” = not analyzed in that sample. Highlighted = at or above the 4 ppt MCL. HI computed per sample with non-detects as 0. Other detections lists every other quantified compound (lithium in µg/L).
All results by entry point
1 results. Each column is one sampling visit (date and UCMR 5 sample event). A number is a measured concentration; “< 4” = below the minimum reporting level shown; “–” = not analyzed in that visit. PFAS in ppt (ng/L); lithium in µg/L.

Statistics by compound
No compound was detected; every result is below its reporting limit, so no Kaplan–Meier statistics can be estimated.
Never detected (1): lithium.
Left-censored Kaplan–Meier statistics (Helsel 2005; Helsel & Lee 2006, NADA for R). Units: ppt; lithium µg/L. Each compound has one reporting limit, so the Kaplan–Meier mean equals the upper mean bound (non-detects at the MRL); the lower bound sets non-detects to 0. “<MRL” = the percentile falls below the reporting limit and cannot be estimated. These describe this system's UCMR 5 samples, not population estimates.
