Water comes from Trinity Water Works System
Trinity Water Works System supplies Trinity: about 89% of residents live in its service area.

It buys treated surface water (EPA lists Decatur, Municipal Ub of and West Morgan-East Lawrence W&s Authority as sellers) and serves 2,844 people in all.
No health-based violations reported to EPA in the five years to October 2026, like 78% of the 7,966 systems serving 1,001–3,300 people.
The latest lead result on file, the 90th percentile of homes sampled in Jan 2024–Dec 2026, was 0.0 ppb, below the 15 ppb action level that applied. Results below detection are reported as 0, so 0 doesn’t mean no lead at any tap.
