TOPNOTCH is one of 498 community water systems in Vermont in the 500 or fewer people size category, formerly serving 350 people from groundwater.

EPA's federal records list this system as inactive in 2023; the record below is historical.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 5 entries between 1999 and 2008, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2008.

Of the 5, 2 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 the Consumer Confidence Rule, the Total Coliform Rules, and the Lead and Copper Rule.
