PFAS (“forever chemicals”)
EPA UCMR 5: 2 entry points tested Jun 2024 to Mar 2025. "Average" is the highest entry-point average (non-detects counted as zero), the way EPA compares UCMR 5 results to the limits. ppt = parts per trillion. These results do not determine compliance.
| Contaminant | Highest average |
|---|---|
| PFOA Not detected Limit 4 ppt | – |
| PFOS One sample above limit Limit 4 ppt | 3.5 ppt 88% of the limit |
| PFHxS Not detected Limit 10 ppt | – |
| PFNA Not detected Limit 10 ppt | – |
| HFPO-DA (GenX) Not detected Limit 10 ppt | – |
| Hazard Index (a combined score for PFHxS, PFNA, GenX and PFBS, where above 1 is over the limit) Not detected Limit 1 | – |
| PFBS Not detected Guideline 2,000 ppt | – |
| PFBA Not detected Guideline 6,000 ppt | – |
| PFHxA Not detected Guideline 3,000 ppt | – |
29 PFAS tested, 1 detected at least once. "Not detected" means below EPA's reporting limit (about 2 to 20 ppt depending on the chemical), not proven zero. PFAS not listed were not detected. The limits for PFHxS, PFNA, GenX and the Hazard Index were proposed for rescission in May 2026. That proposal is not final. Systems have until 2029 to meet the limits.
Lithium
Detected in 1 of 6 samples. Highest result 10 ppb. EPA's non-enforceable screening level is 10 ppb. Below screening level The screening level is how EPA decides what to study further, not a health limit. There is no federal limit for lithium and no filter is certified to remove it. About lithium.
Lead and copper
Latest 90th percentile: 3 ppb lead (Jul 2023 – Dec 2023). Below action level
Highest since 2016: 6 ppb (Jun 2018).
| Monitoring period | Lead (90th pct.) |
|---|---|
| Jul 2023 – Dec 2023 | 3 ppb |
| Jan 2020 – Dec 2020 | 1.4 ppb |
| Jul 2019 – Dec 2019 | 1.4 ppb |
Earlier results (9)
| Jan 2019 – Jun 2019 | 5.7 ppb |
| Jul 2018 – Dec 2018 | 4 ppb |
| Jan 2018 – Jun 2018 | 6 ppb |
| Jan 2017 – Dec 2017 | 0 ppb |
| Jan 2014 – Dec 2014 | 0 ppb |
| Jan 2012 – Dec 2012 | 1 ppb |
| Jan 2010 – Dec 2010 | 0 ppb |
| Jan 2007 – Dec 2007 | 0 ppb |
| Jan 2001 – Dec 2001 | 0 ppb |
Lead comes from pipes and fixtures, not the source water, so it varies home to home. The 90th percentile means 9 in 10 sampled homes were at or below it. More on lead.
Violations
Health-based violations mean a contaminant exceeded a limit or a required treatment step was missed. Monitoring and reporting violations mean required tests or reports were late or missing, so the water's quality during that time is unknown. The total includes every violation in EPA's records, most of them paperwork.
Earlier EPA testing (2013–2020)
| Contaminant | Highest | Guideline |
|---|---|---|
| Manganese | 0.76 ppb | 300 ppb |
| Molybdenum | 1 ppb | 40 ppb |
| Chromium-6 | 0.18 ppb | – |
| Vanadium | 0.8 ppb | 21 ppb |
| Chlorate | 639 ppb | 210 ppb |
| Strontium | 0.84 ppm | 1.5 ppm |
