Questions
Frequently asked questions
Is Scotchtown tap water safe to drink?
PurityMap does not give a safe/unsafe verdict; it shows what the public records measured. For Scotchtown, PFAS were detected below their limits, and PFPeA 3.3 ng/L with no federal or state limit; the lead 90th-percentile result was 1.97 µg/L against the 15 µg/L action level. WALLKILL CONSOLIDATED WD (PWSID NY3503584) has a Purity Score of 63/100 (confidence: moderate), assessed at the water-system level and computed only from contaminants that were measured. Water can change in your own pipes, so a certified test is the only way to know what comes out of your tap.
Who provides tap water in Scotchtown?
WALLKILL CONSOLIDATED WD (PWS ID NY3503584) is the public water system on record for Scotchtown, New York, serving about 18,450 people. Confirm the utility on your water bill before acting on a specific finding.
Where does Scotchtown get its drinking water?
Surface water (primary source of record in EPA SDWIS).
Are PFAS "forever chemicals" in Scotchtown's water?
In EPA's UCMR 5 testing (2025-10-30), PFBS was detected at 3.9 ng/L, below the 2,000 ng/L EPA health advisory. PFPeA (3.3 ng/L) was also detected; it has no federal or state limit.
Is there lead in Scotchtown's tap water?
WALLKILL CONSOLIDATED WD's most recent lead 90th-percentile result (2021–2023) was 1.97 µg/L, below the 15 µg/L action level. That figure comes from sampled homes; lead usually enters from a building's own pipes and fixtures, so only a test at your tap tells you what you drink.
What does the latest Scotchtown water report show?
PurityMap's current record for Scotchtown holds 28 findings: 2 above a reference, 2 detected within the reference, 1 detected with no limit and 23 not detected. Each finding links to its dated public record; a parameter that was never monitored is shown as pending, not as a pass.

Something off with your water's smell, color or taste?
Start with the hot-or-cold tap check. Where Wallkill Consolidated WD reported something related, it's shown below.
- Rotten-egg smell
- Cloudy or milky water
- Chlorine smell
- Brown or yellow water
- Metallic taste
Lead at Wallkill Consolidated WD: 1.97 µg/L (90th percentile, 2021–2023 monitoring period). Lead has no taste, so a taste neither shows nor rules it out.
Copper: 1.9 mg/L (90th percentile, 2016 monitoring period). The federal action level is 1.3 mg/L.
