Irvington Water Quality Above State Requirements: Report

The quality of Irvington’s drinking water is above state requirements, according to the most recent of an annual report issued by the village.

“During 2014, the water system complied with all applicable State drinking water operating, monitoring and reporting requirements,” the study states.

The Irvington Water Department is required to test for and monitor contaminant levels on a regular basis, and while traces of various contaminants are sometimes found, their levels are below state requirements.

“The purpose of this report is to raise your understanding of drinking water and awareness of the need to protect our drinking water sources,” wrote Jim Englishby, Water and Sewer Superintendent, in an email to residents. “Included are details about where your water comes from, what it contains and how it compares to State standards.”
