Newark and New Jersey officials reach settlement in yearslong lawsuit over lead contamination of city drinking water

Officials from the city and the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection reached an agreement with the Natural Resources Defense Council and the Newark Education Workers Caucus, which sued city and state officials in June 2018 for ongoing violations of the federal Safe Drinking Water Act, including their failure to address the lead crisis on a timely basis. A New Jersey federal judge signed an order Tuesday approving the settlement.

The NJDEP will also launch a dedicated web page for Newark water system updates such as ongoing tap water and water quality sampling and corrosion control testing in February that will be maintained through at least the end of the year, per the agreement.
