How does Cradles To Crayons compare with other water systems in Middlesex County?
By EPA's size categories, Cradles To Crayons is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Middlesex County has 277 active public water systems. Its population served is well below the county average of 353 people per system, and accounts for less than 0.1% of the 97,777 people reported by systems filed under the county. Across Connecticut, the 2,363 active systems average 1,247 people each. Nationally, the average active non-transient non-community water system reports serving 430 people, so Cradles To Crayons is well below that figure.
What does “non-transient non-community water system” mean?
A non-transient non-community water system regularly serves at least 25 of the same people for more than six months a year, but not where they live. Schools, factories, office buildings and hospitals with their own supply are typical examples. Connecticut has 483 active non-transient non-community water systems, 20% of the state's 2,363 active systems. Groundwater means the system draws its water from wells or springs fed by underground aquifers. 2,263 Connecticut systems (96%) list groundwater as their primary source.
Who owns and regulates Cradles To Crayons?
EPA lists Cradles To Crayons as privately owned. The CT state drinking water program is its primacy agency, the regulator with primary enforcement responsibility for the system under the Safe Drinking Water Act. 223 of the 277 active systems in Middlesex County (81%) are also privately owned.
Does Cradles To Crayons have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, one is health-based, and the most recent began in January 2026. The violations listed here began between July 2003 and January 2026. By type: 9 monitoring and reporting, 2 reporting and 1 required treatment not met. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Lead and Copper Rule (6 of them). EPA lists 6 as resolved, 3 as unaddressed and 3 as archived. Resolved means at least one resolving action is on record: the system returned to compliance, the rule no longer applies, or no further action was needed. Unaddressed means the violation is not resolved or archived and is not yet covered by formal enforcement. Archived means the violation was not marked resolved but is more than five years past the end of the noncompliance period, so it no longer counts toward current compliance status.
