Purveyor Service Areas of New Jersey

The service area boundaries of Public Community Water Systems, or Water Purveyors, in New Jersey have been collected and digitized to enable long term water supply planning, and to aid in emergency management during drought. This is a geographical representation of the 2026 Public Community Water System (Purveyor) Service Areas GIS data layer. Public Community Water Systems are systems that pipe water for human consumption to at least 15 service connections used year-round, or one that regularly serves at least 25 year-round residents. Public Community Water Systems are regulated by the NJDEP Bureau of Safe Drinking Water, under the Safe Drinking Water Act. Water purveyors can be government agencies, private companies, or quasi-government groups. The boundaries mapped are those of the actual water delivery or service area. Franchise areas are not depicted (areas with legal rights for future service once developed). Water sources (wells or surface water intakes) are often located outside the delivery area boundaries.新泽西州境内的公共社区供水系统（Public Community Water Systems，亦称供水服务商Water Purveyors）的服务范围边界已完成采集与数字化处理，旨在支撑长期供水规划，并助力干旱期间的应急管理工作。本数据集为2026版公共社区供水系统（供水服务商）服务范围的地理信息系统（Geographic Information System，简称GIS）数据图层。公共社区供水系统指通过管道输送饮用水，且至少拥有15个全年持续使用的服务接驳点，或固定为至少25名全年常住居民提供供水服务的系统。该类系统由新泽西州环境保护部（New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, NJDEP）安全饮用水管理局依据《安全饮用水法（Safe Drinking Water Act）》进行监管。供水服务商可涵盖政府机构、私营企业及准政府组织三类主体。本次绘制的边界仅对应实际的供水配送或服务范围，特许经营区域（即未来开发完成后可获得合法供水服务权限的区域）未被纳入本图层。供水水源（水井或地表水取水口）通常位于供水配送范围之外。
