Questions
Does Utah tap water have PFAS?
EPA tested 127 community water systems in Utah for 29 PFAS between 2023 and 2025. 5 had at least one regulated PFAS detected, and 2 had an entry-point average above a 2024 federal limit. Those 2 systems serve about 14,975 people. Systems have until 2029 to meet the limits.
How many Utah water systems have violations?
204 systems in Utah had at least one health-based violation since 2016 (474 violations in total). 126 violations are currently listed as unaddressed.
Which Utah water systems are over the lead action level?
8 systems had a lead 90th percentile above the 15 ppb action level in their most recent results from the last five years. Another 12 systems have no lead results in EPA's database from the last five years, including 1 whose last result was above the action level. Lead depends on each home's pipes, so a test of your own tap is the only way to know your level.
