Water comes from Millbrook Village water system

About 10% of homes are outside any mapped community water system, most likely on private wells, which EPA doesn’t regulate. It draws ground water influenced by surface water and serves 1,450 people in all.
No health-based violations reported to EPA in the five years to October 2026, like 78% of the 7,966 systems serving 1,001–3,300 people.
The latest lead result on file, the 90th percentile of homes sampled in Jan 2018–Dec 2020, was 0.0 ppb, below the 15 ppb action level that applied. It’s from 2020: EPA has no newer result for this system. Results below detection are reported as 0, so 0 doesn’t mean no lead at any tap.
