Drinking water in Gales Ferry, Connecticut is delivered through 17 EPA-regulated community water systems serving an estimated 12,762 people. Each system is tracked in the EPA Safe Drinking Water Information System (SDWIS) under the Safe Drinking Water Act, which requires testing for regulated contaminants, consumer notification of violations, and publication of an annual Consumer Confidence Report.
PlainEnviro's health-based SDWIS extract shows 9 violation records across the 17 active community systems shown here. Monitoring and reporting records are not present in the extract. The records carry 3 distinct EPA contaminant codes: LEAD AND COPPER RULE REVISIONS, Lead and Copper Rule, Revised Total Coliform Rule. 1 TRI-reporting industrial facility is also located within the city limits.

All records above reflect federal EPA SDWIS data and are not independently verified against state databases.
