New York has 704 active non-transient non-community water systems, 8.6% of the state's 8,167 active systems.

Does Apw Elementary School have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, none is health-based, and the most recent began in January 2025. The violations listed here began between June 1993 and January 2025. By type: 7 monitoring and reporting, 4 public notice, recordkeeping or other and 1 monitoring. The contaminants or rules involved are Revised Total Coliform Rule, Lead and Copper Rule, Total coliform bacteria (TCR) and Nitrate. EPA lists 8 as resolved and 4 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. 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.
