Questions about this page

Does this page list every boil water advisory in Vermont?

No. We do not read Vermont DEC Drinking Water's advisories into this page, so nothing on it is a list of what is in force. What this page carries instead is where those advisories are published and which water systems our own database holds.

Where are boil water advisories for Vermont published?

Vermont DEC Drinking Water is the agency this page links to. We checked its site on 22 August 2026 and did not find a list of active advisories published there. That is one page on one day, not a statement about what Vermont DEC Drinking Water publishes, and a utility or a county may issue a notice directly.

How many water systems does this page cover?

Our database holds 122 public water systems in Vermont. That is a count of what is in our database, not a count of every public water system in the state. Advisories are counted by water system, keyed on the system's federal identifier, and never by the number of separate notices one system has been given.

Is anything on this page a verdict about whether the water is safe?

This is not a statement that your water is safe. We do not read this state's advisories, so this page cannot tell you whether one is in force. Your utility is the authority for your own water.
