Power, water and internet
Who to call to start service at a new address in Glastonbury.
Power comes from Farmington River Power Company
Farmington River Power Company (Farmington River Power Company), an investor-owned utility, serves all of Glastonbury.
Service territory: HIFLD Electric Retail Service Territories (map dated Aug 2023). Prices and customers: EIA-861, 2025.
Water comes from Metropolitan District Commission
Metropolitan District Commission supplies Glastonbury: about 73% of residents live in its service area. Manchester Water Department serves another 7%. About 20% 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 Ctwc - Northern Reg-Western System and Ctwc - Unionville System and New Britain Water Department as sellers) and serves 390,887 people in all.
No health-based violations reported to EPA in the five years to October 2026, like 86% of the 84 systems serving 250,001–500,000 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 6.7 ppb. Results below detection are reported as 0, so 0 doesn’t mean no lead at any tap.
The system’s full record: EPA ECHO report
EPA SDWIS via Envirofacts (violations pulled Oct 9, 2026) and ECHO (lead samples, 2026Q3); service area: EPA Community Water System Service Area Boundaries v3.0. Violations are counted by the start of their compliance period. CT0640011.
