CAREFREE HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION is one of 799 community water systems in Connecticut in the 500 or fewer people size category, serving 172 people from groundwater.
As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 36 entries between 1994 and 2025, of which 1 health-based item remains open, alongside 1 other open entry.
Of the 36, 28 are monitoring and reporting requirements — the category that accounts for about four in five of all violations in EPA's national dataset — rather than findings about the water itself. The record involves volatile organic chemicals, the Lead and Copper Rule, and the Total Coliform Rules.
