It lists the contaminants detected in the system’s water during the year, where the water comes from, and how the results compare with federal limits.

System facts

System ID (PWSID): VT0005126
System type: Community Water System
Population served: 1,700
Service connections: 771
Ownership: local government
Water source: surface water (rivers, lakes, or reservoirs)

RICHFORD WATER SYSTEM is one of 98 community water systems in Vermont in the 501 to 3,300 people size category, serving 1,700 people from surface water.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 29 entries between 1990 and 2018, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2018.

The record involves volatile organic chemicals, the Stage 1 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule, and the Stage 2 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule.
