Service territory: HIFLD Electric Retail Service Territories (map dated Aug 2023). Prices and customers: EIA-861, 2025.
Water comes from Avon Water Co
Avon Water Co supplies Avon: about 74% of residents live in its service area. Ctwc - Unionville System serves another 12%. Ctwc - Naugatuck Reg-Collinsville Sys serves another 8%. About 11% of homes are outside any mapped community water system, most likely on private wells, which EPA doesn’t regulate. It draws ground water and serves 11,590 people in all.
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 2024–Dec 2026, was 0.0 ppb, below the 15 ppb action level that applied. The highest in five years was 2.4 ppb. Results below detection are reported as 0, so 0 doesn’t mean no lead at any tap.
