***HOUSEHOLD SOUGHT FOR EXPANDED WATER SAMPLING LOCATIONS***

Continually working in the interest of public health, Veolia regularly conducts a variety of tests to ensure that water meets state and federal guidelines.

As part of that testing, the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection Agency (NJDEP) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) require public water suppliers to obtain samples from customers’ homes twice a year for the purpose of lead and copper testing.

Many of you have participated in the program in our last sample program in 2022. Veolia is currently looking to expand that testing base in North Brunswick, and is asking homeowners to participate in the water sampling program.
