Water comes from Egan Water Corporation
Egan Water Corporation supplies Egan: about 30% of residents live in its service area. About 70% 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 5,337 people in all.
7 health-based violations reported to EPA in the five years to October 2026: a groundwater treatment requirement (Groundwater Rule) ×6, disinfection byproducts (TTHM), the latest beginning Nov 2024. 80% of the 5,012 systems serving 3,301–10,000 people had none. 7 older violations are still open, since 2024: a groundwater treatment requirement (Groundwater Rule), per EPA’s records.
The latest lead result on file, the 90th percentile of homes sampled in Jan–Dec 2023, was 0.0 ppb, below the 15 ppb action level that applied. Results below detection are reported as 0, so 0 doesn’t mean no lead at any tap.
