Met NJ Water Quality Accountability Act requirements for asset management (state-level)

This measure is a regulatory requirement.

At the state level, this metric shows the percentage of drinking water systems that have certified that they have an Asset Management Plan that met NJ Water Quality Accountability Act requirements. The Water Quality Accountability Act requires systems with more than 500 connections to create long-term plans (i.e., asset management plans) and to use industry-standard practices to test valves and fire hydrants. Systems that exceed a threshold of violations in a year must report to the State how they plan to correct them. The violations can be in connection with reporting or water quality. Systems must take measures to address cyber security and must certify annually that they comply with federal and State drinking water regulations and the WQAA. For a more detailed overview of the WQAA, click here.

Note: Systems may have updated results from the latest data shown here. The percentage is calculated out of systems that have either a "Yes" or "No" according to NJDEP, as opposed to all drinking water systems in the state.
