The ZIP code it serves
The short answer
1 result is above the health goal. The worst: Uranium, above the health goal. No health-based violations on file since 2016.
What handles itWhat was found
Copper: EPA’s file records a utility’s copper only when it exceeds the action level. The last here was 1.4 ppm, for the period ending Dec. 31, 2004. None since is on file, so it is not counted as a current finding.
Nitrate, total trihalomethanes (TTHM), haloacetic acids (HAA5) and arsenic: New York’s yearly summaries per water system, 2020 to 2024, with EPA’s 2012 to 2019 file for earlier years.
Uranium, chromium (total) and fluoride: EPA’s compliance monitoring file, samples taken from June 25, 2013 to Sept. 12, 2019. Newer results are in the utility’s annual water quality report.
Above the health goal1
Uranium
Comes from the source
2.4ppb
Highest yearly average, 2013 to 2019
Averaged by year, the highest was 2.4 ppb, in 2019: below EPA’s legal limit of 30 ppb, but above its health goal of zero. That was also the latest year on file.
What handles it
- NSF/ANSI 58 look for “Uranium”
Below EPA’s limits4
Nitrate
Comes from the source
4.0ppm
Highest sample; found in 17 of 19
2024 average: 0.29 ppm
The highest sample, in 2020, was 4.0 ppm, below EPA’s legal limit of 10 ppm. In 2024, the latest year on file, it averaged 0.29 ppm. Earlier, from 2012 to 2019, EPA’s file shows a highest sample of 0.87 ppm, in 2016.
What handles it
- NSF/ANSI 58 look for “Nitrate/Nitrite Reduction”
- NSF/ANSI 53 look for “Nitrate/Nitrite (30 ppm challenge)”
Total trihalomethanes (TTHM)
Forms or is added in treatment
16.1ppb
Highest yearly average, 2020 to 2024
2024 average: 13.7 ppb
Averaged by year, the highest was 16.1 ppb, in 2020, below EPA’s legal limit of 80 ppb. In 2024, the latest year on file, it averaged 13.7 ppb. Earlier, from 2012 to 2019, EPA’s file shows a highest yearly average of 22.2 ppb, in 2015.

Haloacetic acids (HAA5)
Forms or is added in treatment
6.7ppb
Highest yearly average, 2020 to 2024
2024 average: 5.4 ppb
Averaged by year, the highest was 6.7 ppb, in 2021, below EPA’s legal limit of 60 ppb. In 2024, the latest year on file, it averaged 5.4 ppb. Earlier, from 2012 to 2019, EPA’s file shows a highest yearly average of 14 ppb, in 2018.
What handles it

Chromium (total)
Comes from the source
9.1ppb
Highest yearly average, 2013 to 2019
2019: not found
Averaged by year, the highest was 9.1 ppb, in 2018, below EPA’s legal limit of 100 ppb. In 2019, the latest year on file, it wasn’t found in its one sample.
What handles it
- NSF/ANSI 58 look for “Chromium (Hexavalent) Reduction”
- NSF/ANSI 53 look for “Chromium Reduction”
3 compounds tested and not foundBelow the reporting level in every sample. Not found is not the same as zero.
- Arsenic
- Fluoride
- Lead
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.”

Claim: Uranium
For: Uranium
At the tap, or for the whole house?
These come with the water itself, so a whole-house system certified for the same claims treats every tap and shower. A filter at the tap treats drinking water for much less. How whole-house systems compare.
Filters with those claims on a certifier’s listing
None of the filters TapBuff has checked so far carry these claims. Search the certifier listings for the claim above.

What this report can’t tell you
Everything else. Nitrate, total trihalomethanes (TTHM), haloacetic acids (HAA5) and arsenic results here are New York’s own yearly summaries from 2020 on, with EPA’s national file for 2012 to 2019. Uranium, chromium (total) and fluoride come from EPA’s file alone, which ends in 2019. Millbrook Village’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; New York’s yearly summaries cover 2020 to 2024; EPA’s compliance samples are from June 25, 2013 to Sept. 12, 2019.
