The ZIP code it serves
The short answer
3 results are above EPA’s legal limit. The worst: Lead, above the action level. 50 health-based violations since 2016.
What handles itWhat was found
Lead and copper: EPA SDWIS monitoring periods ending 1993 to 2020.
Copper: EPA’s file records a utility’s copper only when it exceeds the action level. The last here was 1.8 ppm, for the period ending June 30, 2019. None since is on file, so it is not counted as a current finding.
Haloacetic acids (HAA5), total trihalomethanes (TTHM), arsenic, nitrate and uranium: New Hampshire’s yearly averages per water system, as CDC’s Environmental Public Health Tracking Network publishes them, 2020 to 2023, with EPA’s 2012 to 2019 file for earlier years.
Fluoride and chromium (total): EPA’s compliance monitoring file, samples taken from July 1, 2014 to July 8, 2019. Newer results are in the utility’s annual water quality report.
Above the legal limit3
Lead
Comes from pipes, often your own
23ppb
90th percentile, 2020
In the latest period, 9 in 10 homes sampled were at or below 23 ppb, above EPA’s action level of 15 ppb. The action level drops to 10 ppb on Nov. 1, 2027, and this result is at or above that. EPA’s health goal for lead is zero.

What handles it
A certification covers specific claims, not a whole standard. Look for these claims on the certifier’s listing, not the box. Wording varies a little: NSF writes “Lead Reduction,” WQA just “Lead.”
- NSF/ANSI 53
Claims: Lead Reduction, Trihalomethanes (TTHM) Reduction
For: Lead, Total trihalomethanes (TTHM)
Other certifiers’ wording: VOC Reduction
- NSF/ANSI 58
Claims: Lead Reduction, Trihalomethanes (TTHM) Reduction
For: Lead, Total trihalomethanes (TTHM)
At the tap, or for the whole house?
Lead and copper usually come from pipes and fixtures inside or near your home. A whole-house system sits where water enters, so it cannot catch what your own plumbing adds after it. For those, the filter that counts is the one at the tap. How whole-house systems compare.

What this report can’t tell you
Everything else. Haloacetic acids (HAA5), total trihalomethanes (TTHM), arsenic, nitrate and uranium results here are New Hampshire’s yearly averages as CDC publishes them, from 2020 on, with EPA’s national file for 2012 to 2019. Fluoride and chromium (total) come from EPA’s file alone, which ends in 2019. New Hampton Village Pct’s own annual report, which it must send you every year, has newer results for those and the contaminants this page does not show.
Your own plumbing. Lead results are the 90th percentile across homes the utility samples. Your home’s service line, solder and fixtures decide yours. A certified lab test is the only way to know.
What it means for your health. This page reports what the records show and EPA’s limits and goals; it is not medical advice. If you are worried about a health effect, talk to a doctor or your local health department.
Anything after the latest data. SDWIS data is from 2026 Q3; UCMR 5 didn’t sample this utility; CDC’s yearly averages for New Hampshire cover 2020 to 2023; EPA’s compliance samples are from July 1, 2014 to July 8, 2019.
