New Jersey Community Water Watch (NJCWW), a project of the New Jersey Public Interest Research Group (NJPIRG) Law & Policy Center and AmeriCorps, is a statewide community service-based environmental program and has been recognized nationally as one of the top environmental AmeriCorps programs in the country. The goal of the program is to give communities the resources to have a clear measurable impact on improving water quality in environmentally and economically distressed areas of New Jersey. 

New Jersey Community Water Watch first began the Princeton University chapter in the fall semester of 2000. The Princeton Chapter works to engage students and community members around water quality issues concerning the Stony Brook- Millstone Watershed. The Princeton Water Watch Chapter focuses its attention on the Millstone River and Delaware and Raritan Canal – both local sources of drinking water and recreation. Princeton Water Watch is a chapter of NJCWW, as well as a registered student organization at Princeton University. The service programs run by Princeton Water Watch include River Cleanups, Stream Monitoring, Environmental Education and Community Outreach.

Over Earth Week, Princeton Water Watch conducted a water taste test at Frist Campus Center.  The purpose of this study was to see if participants could tell the difference between tap, filtered and bottled water.  The link below shows the results of this survey.
