What is included

Each active community water system with complete monitoring is counted once, even if it is linked with several ZIP codes. Private wells are excluded, and UCMR 5 did not comprehensively monitor every small system. This page does not apply Vermont's state-specific standards or determine compliance. Use the official state or territory drinking-water program for current regulatory information.
