Buys water from Utrwd Regional Water Treatment Plant, Dallas Water Utility. Treated water bought from another system can carry that system's contaminants.
Summary
No federal limits exceeded in EPA data.
- PFAS
- Detected, below limit6 of 29 PFAS found at least once. All averages below the federal limits.
- Lead
- Below action level1.6 ppb (parts per billion) at the 90th percentile: 9 in 10 homes sampled were at or below it. Action level 15 ppb, falling to 10 ppb in Nov 2027. Monitoring period ending Dec 2025. Your home's pipes can make yours higher.
- Violations
- None health-basedNo health-based violations since 2016.
- Built before 1986, or not sure what your service line is made of? Check your service line and test your tap. Utility data can't show your pipes.

- Read Town of Flower Mound's annual water quality report (Consumer Confidence Report). It lists every regulated contaminant tested and is usually on the utility's website or mailed with your bill, and you can also request it at (972) 874-6520. EPA: how to find it.
PFAS (“forever chemicals”)
EPA UCMR 5: 3 entry points tested Apr 2023 to Aug 2024. "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 One sample above limit Limit 4 ppt | 1.1 ppt 28% of the limit |
| PFOS Not detected Limit 4 ppt | – |
| 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) Detected, below limit Limit 1 | 0.0021 |
| PFBS Detected, below limit Guideline 2,000 ppt | 4.2 ppt |
| PFBA Detected, below limit Guideline 6,000 ppt | 8.78 ppt |
| PFHxA Detected, below limit Guideline 3,000 ppt | 8.02 ppt |
| PFPeA Detected, no limit | 7.52 ppt |
| PFHpA Detected, no limit | 0.78 ppt |
29 PFAS tested, 6 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
Not detected in 12 samples (reporting limit 9 ppb). About lithium.
Lead and copper
Latest 90th percentile: 1.6 ppb lead (Jan 2025 – Dec 2025). Below action level
Highest since 2016: 4 ppb (Dec 2019).
| Monitoring period | Lead (90th pct.) |
|---|---|
| Jan 2025 – Dec 2025 | 1.6 ppb |
| Jan 2024 – Dec 2024 | 2.45 ppb |
| Jan 2021 – Dec 2023 | 3.27 ppb |
Earlier results (9)
| Jan 2020 – Dec 2020 | 2.7 ppb |
| Jan 2017 – Dec 2019 | 4 ppb |
| Jan 2016 – Dec 2016 | 2 ppb |
| Jan 2013 – Dec 2015 | 3 ppb |
| Jan 2010 – Dec 2012 | 2.83 ppb |
| Jan 2005 – Dec 2007 | 2 ppb |
| Jan 1999 – Dec 2001 | 3.3 ppb |
| Jan 1996 – Dec 1998 | 3.1 ppb |
| Jan 1995 – Dec 1995 | 4.3 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 | 15.3 ppb | 300 ppb |
| Chromium-6 | 0.35 ppb | – |
| 1,4-Dioxane | 0.09 ppb | 0.35 ppb |
| Molybdenum | 2.25 ppb | 40 ppb |
| Strontium | 0.35 ppm | 1.5 ppm |
| Chlorate | 618 ppb | 210 ppb |

For the official word, read the utility's annual Consumer Confidence Report.
Does Town of Flower Mound water have PFAS?
