Belleville is committed to providing a reliable supply of safe, quality drinking water to its residents. The purpose of this report is to provide you, our customer, with information on the sources of your drinking water. This report will also describe the water treatment process and explain what potential substances may be found in drinking water. Health information and a listing of the
amounts of detected substances and how they compare to the state and federal regulations are also provided.

This report confirms that your drinking water is safe. However, as you may know, in the past, the Township was experiencing issues of non-compliance for the following contaminants: disinfection by-products (Total Trihalomethanes & Haloacetic Acids); total coliform; iron and manganese; lead; and, Consumer Confidence Report (CCR). In these situations, you have been notified of the violations, what the Belleville Water Department is doing to remediate these issues, as well as, what actions you should be taking as a consumer of our water. We are actively implementing improvements to our water system to provide you with a better quality of drinking water, i.e., Newark has made treatment modifications to reduce the levels of disinfection by-products; hydrant flushing and revised sampling procedures to reduce positive total coliform results; sampling of iron and manganese yearly; Belleville has distributed free filters and replacement cartridges to qualified residents, and, Newark is now utilizing zinc orthophosphate for corrosion control which coats the lead pipes and fixtures to prevent lead from corroding and leaching into our drinking water thus lowering lead levels; and, revise the CCR to conform to DEP guidelines. Finally, the Township conducted one (1) Level 2 Assessment due to detected coliform bacteria in the distribution system. No sanitary defects were found during the assessment, however, we failed to report our corrective actions which resulted in a violation.

Results of all of Belleville Township water sampling can be reviewed at the NJDEP Drinking Water Watch web site: https://www9.state.nj.us/DEP_WaterWatch_public/
