Buys water from Utrwd Regional Water Treatment Plant. Treated water bought from another system can carry that system's contaminants.
Summary
No federal limits exceeded in EPA data.
- PFAS
- Detected, below limit3 of 29 PFAS found at least once. All averages below the federal limits.
- Lithium
- Above screening levelHighest result 41.2 ppb. EPA uses 10 ppb to decide what to study further. It is not a health limit, and there is no federal limit for lithium. About 1 in 4 systems tested were above it.
- Lead
- Below action level1.33 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.
- Tested your own tap? Compare your result with these numbers. Moving? Compare this system with another.
- Read Mustang Special Utility District'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 (940) 440-9561. EPA: how to find it.
PFAS (“forever chemicals”)
EPA UCMR 5: 10 entry points tested Jan 2025 to Oct 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 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) Not detected Limit 1 | – |
| PFBS Not detected Guideline 2,000 ppt | – |
| PFBA Detected, below limit Guideline 6,000 ppt | 0 ppt |
| PFHxA Detected, below limit Guideline 3,000 ppt | 0 ppt |
| PFPeA Detected, no limit | 0 ppt |
29 PFAS tested, 3 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 16 of 21 samples. Highest result 41.2 ppb. EPA's non-enforceable screening level is 10 ppb. Above 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: 1.33 ppb lead (Jul 2025 – Dec 2025). Below action level
Highest since 2016: 1.69 ppb (Dec 2024).
| Monitoring period | Lead (90th pct.) |
|---|---|
| Jul 2025 – Dec 2025 | 1.33 ppb |
| Jan 2025 – Jun 2025 | 1.45 ppb |
| Jul 2024 – Dec 2024 | 1.69 ppb |
Earlier results (9)
| Jan 2024 – Jun 2024 | 1.6 ppb |
| Jan 2020 – Dec 2022 | 1.2 ppb |
| Jul 2019 – Dec 2019 | 0 ppb |
| Jan 2019 – Jun 2019 | 1.1 ppb |
| Jan 2016 – Dec 2016 | 1.3 ppb |
| Jan 2015 – Dec 2015 | 0 ppb |
| Jan 2014 – Dec 2014 | 1.7 ppb |
| Jan 2005 – Dec 2007 | 1.4 ppb |
| Jan 1997 – Dec 1999 | 2 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
1 unresolved monitoring or reporting violation: Public Notice.
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 | 0.6 ppb | 300 ppb |

Questions
Is Mustang Special Utility District water safe to drink?
Mustang Special Utility District has no health-based violations since 2016. EPA testing found no PFAS above the federal limits. Federal data can't tell you about your own pipes: lead comes from service lines and plumbing, so test your tap if your home was built before 1986. For the official word, read the utility's annual Consumer Confidence Report.
Does Mustang Special Utility District water have PFAS?
Yes. EPA's 2023–2025 testing of Mustang Special Utility District found 3 PFAS at least once. None of the averages were above the federal limits.
What is the lead level in Mustang Special Utility District water?
The most recent 90th-percentile lead result for Mustang Special Utility District is 1.33 ppb, for the period ending Dec 2025. The federal action level is 15 ppb, falling to 10 ppb in November 2027.
