Water comes from Norwich Public Utilities

About 3% 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 Montville Water Supply as seller) and serves 36,163 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–Dec 2025, was 0.0 ppb, below the 15 ppb action level that applied. The highest in five years was 2.3 ppb. Results below detection are reported as 0, so 0 doesn’t mean no lead at any tap.
