Town of Maiden is the town's public water system; homes outside its lines may be on other systems or private wells. Its supply is purchased surface water. EPA's registry lists it serving about 5,563 people.
Many homes outside town water lines do. In state testing of private wells in Catawba County, 2.81% of 1,567 private wells tested (44 wells) were above the 10 µg/L EPA drinking water standard (MCL) for arsenic. These figures describe the wells that were tested, not every well in the county.
Census estimates put 43.5% of Maiden homes as built before 1980. Lead usually comes from a home's own plumbing, not the utility, so in older homes a certified-lab lead test at the tap is the honest starting point.
