Cambridge was incorporated as a village in 1866.
The Cambridge Valley Water Company was incorporated in 1864 by M. D. Hubbard, Samuel W. Crosby, William J. Bockes, Solomon W. Warner, and J. Dorr Hall "For the purpose of supplying the said village of Cambridge Valley with pure and wholesome water" No evidence has been found that this company built anything.
The Cambridge Water-Works Company built a system in 1886 that pumped water into a reservoir.
Water is currently provided by New York American Water.
