CAVENDISH TOWN WATER SYSTEM is one of 98 community water systems in Vermont in the 501 to 3,300 people size category, serving 950 people from groundwater.
As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 60 entries between 1992 and 2025, all of which EPA lists as closed.
Of the 60, 57 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, inorganic chemicals, and the Consumer Confidence Rule.
