Drinking water · reported to EPA

Water comes from Ctwc - Naugatuck Region-Central System

Ctwc - Naugatuck Region-Central System supplies Middlebury: about 53% of residents live in its service area. Heritage Water Company serves another 22%. About 27% 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 - Naugatuck Reg - Hillcrest and Waterbury Water Department as sellers) and serves 22,735 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.

Lead, 90th percentile0.0 ppb
015 ppb action level20

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 1.0 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
