What's actually in Fairfield County water
The real, published figures for the towns we serve — each shown against both the federal limit and the EWG health-based guideline.
We don't ask you to take our word for it. Every figure we cite comes from a published Consumer Confidence Report or the EWG Tap Water Database, and we show two reference points for each: the federal legal limit (what the EPA allows) and the EWG health-based guideline (what health research alone would prefer).
For the Aquarion Eastern Fairfield County system in 2024: trihalomethanes averaged 64 ppb (limit 80, guideline 0.15), haloacetic acids 43 ppb (limit 60), lead at the tap up to 6 ppb (the health goal is zero), and trace PFAS in the low parts-per-trillion. None of it is a violation. All of it is the gap between legal and ideal.
You can see the by-town breakdown on our homepage, and we'll always test your specific address before recommending anything.
