About 61% of homes are outside any mapped community water system, most likely on private wells, which EPA doesn’t regulate. It buys treated surface water (EPA lists Greenfield Water Department as seller) and serves 341 people in all.
No health-based violations reported to EPA in the five years to October 2026, like 77% of the 15,074 systems serving 101–500 people.
The latest lead result on file, the 90th percentile of homes sampled in Jan 2022–Dec 2024, was 1.1 ppb, below the 15 ppb action level that applied. That’s higher than 60% of similar systems’ latest results.
