About 23% of homes are outside any mapped community water system, most likely on private wells, which EPA doesn’t regulate.

No health-based violations reported to EPA in the five years to October 2026, like 83% of the 3,525 systems serving 10,001–50,000 people.
The latest lead result on file, the 90th percentile of homes sampled in Jan 2022–Dec 2024, was 0.9 ppb, below the 15 ppb action level that applied. That’s lower than 60% of similar systems’ latest results.
