Drinking water · reported to EPA

Water comes from Maple Valley Nursing Home water system

The Maple Valley Nursing Home water system supplies Maple City: about 29% of residents live in its service area. About 71% 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 25 people in all.

No health-based violations reported to EPA in the five years to October 2026, like 78% of the 11,392 systems serving <=100 people.

Lead, 90th percentile0.0 ppb

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.

The system’s full record: EPA ECHO report

EPA SDWIS via Envirofacts (violations pulled Oct 9, 2026) and ECHO (lead samples, 2026Q3); service area: EPA Community Water System Service Area Boundaries v3.0 (EPA’s estimate). Violations are counted by the start of their compliance period. MI0064067.
