FAIRFAX FIRE DISTRICT 1 is one of 498 community water systems in Vermont in the 500 or fewer people size category, serving 80 people from groundwater.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 34 entries between 1992 and 2025, all of which EPA lists as closed.

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. EPA’s revised CCR rule takes effect January 1, 2027, and the first reports in the new format are due July 1, 2027.
