Water comes from Village of Montgomery Water System
Village of Montgomery Water System supplies St. Maurice: about 21% of residents live in its service area. About 79% 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 1,167 people in all.
5 health-based violations reported to EPA in the five years to October 2026: a groundwater treatment requirement (Groundwater Rule) ×4, a lead and copper treatment requirement (Lead and Copper Rule Revisions), the latest beginning Oct 2024. 78% of the 7,966 systems serving 1,001–3,300 people had none. 3 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 2022–Dec 2024, was 0.0 ppb, below the 15 ppb action level that applied. The highest in five years was 4.0 ppb. Results below detection are reported as 0, so 0 doesn’t mean no lead at any tap.
