Water comes from Ticonderoga WD water system
The Ticonderoga WD water system supplies Ticonderoga: about 87% of residents live in its service area. About 13% of homes are outside any mapped community water system, most likely on private wells, which EPA doesn’t regulate. It draws surface water and serves 3,700 people in all.
No health-based violations reported to EPA in the five years to October 2026, like 80% of the 5,012 systems serving 3,301–10,000 people. 1 older violation is still open, since 2011: a surface water treatment requirement (Surface Water Treatment Rule), per EPA’s records.
The latest lead result on file, the 90th percentile of homes sampled in Jan–Dec 2023, was 2.1 ppb, below the 15 ppb action level that applied. The highest in five years was 4.0 ppb. That’s higher than 72% of similar systems’ latest results.
