Drinking water · reported to EPA

Water comes from Ctwc - Northern Reg-Western System

About 9% of homes are outside any mapped community water system, most likely on private wells, which EPA doesn’t regulate. It draws surface water (EPA lists Metropolitan District Commission and Manchester Water Department and Tolland Water Dept - Torry Road as sellers) and serves 101,313 people in all.

No health-based violations reported to EPA in the five years to October 2026, like 86% of the 332 systems serving 100,001–250,000 people.

The latest lead result on file, the 90th percentile of homes sampled in Jan–Dec 2026, was 0.0 ppb, below the 15 ppb action level that applied. The highest in five years was 10.3 ppb. Results below detection are reported as 0, so 0 doesn’t mean no lead at any tap.
