Report Context
Context attributed to the source report
These summaries are limited to the named annual report and do not assert live system, compliance, or advisory status.
What this report covers
The official Aquarion report identifies the Eastern Fairfield County System, PWS ID CT0150011, and lists Bridgeport among the communities served. The report covers 2025 testing with one 2024/2025 barium period and includes 27 substantive rows across regulated, treatment, state-required, other-monitored, and unregulated sections.
Source water and treatment context
The report describes a mostly surface-water supply drawn from eight reservoirs, supplemented by Westport and Coleytown well fields, with treatment at named Aquarion plants. It reports low-to-moderate susceptibility language from a Connecticut source-water assessment and does not turn that report-period context into a current risk conclusion.
Lead and service-line context
The report explains household plumbing and service-line responsibilities, directs customers to Aquarion's service-line inventory and testing contacts, and preserves the report's 2025 lead sample-period wording. It does not determine the material of any individual service line or tap condition.
Unregulated monitoring context
The report lists five detected PFAS-related unregulated monitoring rows with source-printed Connecticut action-level context. These are report-period monitoring results; they are not federal primary standards and do not establish a current advisory or health conclusion.
Report glossary
The report glossary defines MCL, MCLG, MRDL, MRDLG, action level, treatment technique, secondary maximum contaminant level, units, and report abbreviations.
Where to check current information
Aquarion's alerts and outages page and Connecticut DPH are the official paths to check for newer instructions or notices. This packet does not assert whether a current notice is active.
How to read the table footnotes
The report footnotes qualify sampling periods, customer-sampling action levels, turbidity measures, disinfection-byproduct measurements, TOC treatment criteria, and unregulated monitoring context.
Definitions printed in this report
- MCLG
- Maximum Contaminant Level Goal: the level below which there is no known or expected risk to health.
- MCL
- Maximum Contaminant Level: the highest level of a contaminant allowed in drinking water.
- MRDL
- Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level: the highest level of a disinfectant allowed in drinking water.
- MRDLG
- Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level Goal: the level below which there is no known or expected risk to health.
- AL
- Action Level: a concentration which, if exceeded, triggers treatment or other requirements.
- TT
- Treatment Technique: a required process intended to reduce a contaminant in drinking water.
- SMCL
- Secondary Maximum Contaminant Level: a standard developed to protect aesthetic qualities and not health based.
- ND
- Not Detected.
- NA
- Not Applicable.
- NL
- State of Connecticut customer Notification Level.

Source-period disclosures kept separate from live status
These items preserve report wording and scope. They do not create violation records, advisory records, or a current-status conclusion.
Report-period scope
This packet reproduces the Aquarion Eastern Fairfield County 2025 report and its printed 2024/2025 sampling periods. It does not establish current compliance, safety, advisory status, or conditions at a particular tap.
Current status is not asserted. Check official current sources for notices or instructions.
Service-area and address limitation
The report lists Bridgeport and nearby communities in the Eastern Fairfield County System service area. That supports system-level context and navigation, not provider certainty for every address.
Current status is not asserted. Check official current sources for notices or instructions.
Current notices
For current alerts, outages, or instructions, check Aquarion's official alerts and outages path and Connecticut DPH. This packet does not assert that a notice is or is not active.
Current status is not asserted. Check official current sources for notices or instructions.
