The short answer
Nothing in EPA’s and New York’s records for this utility is above a health goal. That covers nitrate, arsenic and other regulated chemicals, plus lead and copper, not everything. No health-based violations on file since 2016.

Total trihalomethanes (TTHM), haloacetic acids (HAA5), arsenic and nitrate: New York’s yearly summaries per water system, 2022, with EPA’s 2012 to 2019 file for earlier years.
Chromium (total) and fluoride: EPA’s compliance monitoring file, samples taken from April 23, 2013 to April 23, 2013. Newer results are in the utility’s annual water quality report.

What this report can’t tell you
Everything else. Total trihalomethanes (TTHM), haloacetic acids (HAA5), arsenic and nitrate results here are New York’s own yearly summaries from 2022 on, with EPA’s national file for 2012 to 2019. Chromium (total) and fluoride come from EPA’s file alone, which ends in 2019. Garrison Landing WS’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.
