Living in Imlay, NV: what to set up and who to call

Imlay has no town government of its own, so Pershing County runs its elections and most services, and its children attend Pershing County School District. Tap water in most of Imlay comes from Imlay Water System, which has a clean five-year EPA record (about 23% of systems its size had a health-based violation) and a latest lead result below detection.

Imlay has no town government. It’s a census-designated place in Pershing County, so the county and regional agencies provide most services. This page answers what we can; the same answers appear on Imlay’s town page under “Getting set up”.

Drinking water · reported to EPA

Water comes from Imlay Water System

Imlay Water System supplies Imlay: about 59% of residents live in its service area. About 41% 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 200 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.

Lead, 90th percentile0.0 ppb
015 ppb action level20

The latest lead result on file, the 90th percentile of homes sampled in Jan 2017–Dec 2025, 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. NV0000226.
