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

Does New Lebanon 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 March 2026. The violations listed here began between January 2020 and March 2026. By type: 11 monitoring and reporting and 1 monitoring. The contaminants or rules involved are Revised Total Coliform Rule, 1,2,4-Trichlorobenzene, 1,2-Dichloropropane and Vinyl chloride. EPA lists 11 as resolved and 1 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.
