New York · system NY5521830 · serves 325 people
Band placed by this system's most recent reported result within a rolling three-year window; the three-year range below shows the full spread.
The reading
This figure was transcribed from the utility's Consumer Confidence Report — the annual summary a utility writes about its own water — not from the underlying sampling records, which this site has not seen. That is why the basis reads unverified.

Where this ranks
This system's nitrate sits around the middle nationally. Systems reporting less serve about 26% of everyone on NitrateSmart's tracked supply; the other about 74% are on systems reporting the same or more. That compares what systems reported, not what comes out of any one tap.
What "Natural background" means
This system's nitrate sits within the range that occurs naturally in groundwater[1]. There is no sign of a human fingerprint in the water. It is a statement about the source, not a clean bill of health — nitrate is only one thing a water test looks at.
Sources
The bands describe how strongly human activity, read from nitrate, has marked a water source — they are not a safety verdict. More on what the numbers mean and where nitrate comes from.
