Parkway School Water Updates

Parkway School is the only facility within the Greenwich Public Schools (GPS) that is not on the Town’s water supply system, but instead relies on a Small Community Water System (i.e., well), recognized by the State of Connecticut Department of Public Health, to supply drinking water to the facility.  The GPS facility staff, along with our contracted certified public water system operator and systems monitoring firms, monitor and maintain the quality of the water supplied to the school.  The GPS Facilities Department is committed to providing the Parkway community with up to date reports on Parkway well water testing and other communications with the State.  For your convenience, results of lead tap water monitoring, an explanation of the health effects of lead, steps consumers can take reduce exposure to lead in drinking water and contact information for the Greenwich Public Schools is included within the Reports section.

Filtration System and Pump House Structure

To start the 2023-2024 school year, water testing results at Parkway School confirmed that contaminants, or PFAS, were above the regulatory limits. GPS’ Facilities Department worked diligently to acquire a proper filtration system and build a new pump house structure to restore safe drinking water back into the building. To start the 2024-2025 school year, final approval by the Connecticut Department of Public Health and the Town of Greenwich's Health Department was given to restore water service.
