Water Quality Snapshot: NEW WINDSOR CONSOLIDATED WD

NEW WINDSOR CONSOLIDATED WD is a local-owned community water system that delivers drinking water to 25,667 residents in NEW WINDSOR, New York (Orange County) through 5,604 service connections. Its water is drawn from surface water sources. EPA's Safe Drinking Water Information System records 90 total violations for this system , of which 34 (38%) are health-based — meaning a contaminant exceeded an EPA Maximum Contaminant Level or a required treatment technique failed. A further 52 monitoring and reporting violations are on file. The most recent violation on record dates to 2022.

The most frequently cited contaminant at this system is Interim Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule, recorded in 33 violations (TT, health-based). Under EPA's UCMR5 PFAS monitoring program, 3 PFAS compounds were detected in samples collected from this system, with a maximum reported concentration of 0.0045 ppt. PFAS are persistent synthetic chemicals linked to health effects at very low exposure levels.

Across New York, EPA tracks 8,098 public water systems serving 19,294,951 people, with 552,003 cumulative violations and 26,817 health-based violations on record. About 94% of systems in the state carry at least one violation, and state-wide the average per system is 68.2 violations. NEW WINDSOR CONSOLIDATED WD's 90 violations sit above the New York average.
