Living in Valhalla, NY: what to set up and who to call

Valhalla has no town government of its own, so Westchester County runs its elections and most services, and its children attend Valhalla Union Free School District. Kensico Water District reported one health-based violation to EPA in the last five years: disinfection byproducts (HAA5), beginning Jan 2022.

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

Electricity

Power comes from Con Edison

Con Edison (Consolidated Edison Co. of New York), an investor-owned utility, serves all of Valhalla. Its homes paid an average of 36.7¢ per kWh in 2025, about $137 a month (its average across New York, for customers on its standard service). New York lets you buy power from another supplier; 10% of Con Edison’s home customers do, and Con Edison still delivers it.

Drinking water · reported to EPA

Water comes from Kensico Water District

Kensico Water District supplies almost all of Valhalla. It buys treated surface water (EPA lists the New York City water system as seller) and serves 17,917 people in all.

1 health-based violation reported to EPA in the five years to October 2026: disinfection byproducts (HAA5), beginning Jan 2022. 83% of the 3,525 systems serving 10,001–50,000 people had none.

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

The latest lead result on file, the 90th percentile of homes sampled in Jan 2024–Dec 2026, was 0.0 ppb, below the 15 ppb action level that applied. The highest in five years was 2.4 ppb. Results below detection are reported as 0, so 0 doesn’t mean no lead at any tap.
