Is Haverstraw NY tap water safe to drink?
Haverstraw's water comes from the Veolia/Rockland system, which stayed in legal compliance even after PFOA was found above New York's 10 ppt limit in 2020, a finding that affected more than 300,000 Rockland County residents including this village.
A 2024 independent EWG analysis of the same Rockland system found elevated trihalomethanes, haloacetic acids and arsenic versus health guidelines, all while the system remained in federal legal compliance.
Haverstraw is predominantly on Veolia's public system rather than private wells. Countywide, only about 4% of water use comes from wells, so a free test is the fastest way to know exactly what's coming out of your own tap.

The same countywide story, close to home
Haverstraw shares Rockland County's documented water story.
- Haverstraw draws from the Veolia Water New York, Rockland system (formerly Suez/United Water), the same surface-water supply serving about 270,950 Rockland County residents.
- PFOA was found above New York's 10 ppt limit here in 2020, part of the countywide finding covered by Riverkeeper and Senator Schumer's office.
- Hardness is typically reported around 110 ppm for the county, moderate, by independent estimators, not a confirmed utility figure.
- About 49.6% of Haverstraw households are owner-occupied, and 63.2% of residents are Hispanic or Latino, the highest share of any town we serve.
- Wells make up only a small fraction of the county's water use, so most Haverstraw addresses share the same Veolia supply as the rest of Rockland County.
What matters most, right here at home
The same PFOA and hardness story as the rest of Rockland, close enough to walk to.
-
Whole house PFAS reduction
The 2020 PFOA finding touched the same Veolia system that supplies Haverstraw. Whole house filtration reduces it at every fixture.

Softening for moderate hardness
Independent estimates put Rockland County water around 110 ppm. A softener handles the scale and spotting that comes with it.

Our water system has completely transformed over the past year. We had issues with old pipes causing chlorine taste, bacteria, PFAS, and heavy metals. Lucia identified all our water problems and provided the perfect solution for our home.

Is Haverstraw NY water safe to drink?
It stays in legal compliance today, but the 2020 finding of PFOA above New York's 10 ppt limit is well documented for the Veolia system that supplies this village, which is why we recommend testing to see where your own address stands.
-
Is Haverstraw's water hard?
Independent estimators put Rockland County water around 110 ppm, in the moderate range, though there's no official utility hardness figure, so a free in-home test gives you the real number for your address.
-
Does Lucia Water Solutions actually work in Haverstraw itself?
Yes, we're based here. Haverstraw is our home village, so it's usually the fastest appointment to schedule on our entire route.
-
Is my Haverstraw home on a well or on Veolia water?
Almost certainly Veolia. Private wells make up only about 4% of Rockland County's total water use, so most Haverstraw homes share the same public system, and a free test confirms it either way.
