What the testing found

Measured levels from EPA violation records, compared to the federal limit (MCL). The black line marks the legal limit.

Arsenic

2.4× the federal limit
Measured 0.024 mg/L · federal limit 0.01 mg/L · latest 07/01/2018 · 23 violations since 2016

Known human carcinogen (skin, bladder, lung); also cardiovascular and developmental effects. Mostly naturally occurring in groundwater.

Copper

2.19× the federal limit
Measured 2850 ppb · federal limit 1300 ppb · latest 12/31/2021 · 0 violations since 2016

Short-term: nausea/vomiting/cramps; long-term: liver/kidney damage. Leaches from copper plumbing, worse with corrosive water.

Chlorination byproduct; MCL 60 ug/L. Cancer and developmental concern.

Total Trihalomethanes

1× the federal limit
Measured 0.083 mg/L · federal limit 0.08 mg/L · latest 04/01/2016 · 2 violations since 2016

Chlorination byproduct; MCL 80 ug/L. Long-term bladder cancer and reproductive risk. Higher in surface-water systems.

Lead

Within federal limit
Measured 9 ppb · federal limit 15 ppb · latest 12/31/2021 · 0 violations since 2016

Filters certified to clean up your water

Your water shows Arsenic, Copper, Total Trihalomethanes, Lead. A reverse osmosis system handles the most of this in one unit — these three are independently certified for the most of your contaminants (not marketing claims):

Want certainty about your tap specifically (not just the system)? A certified mail-in lab test is the gold standard — system-wide records can differ from your home's plumbing. Some links above are affiliate links — see our disclosure.

Sources & method. Contaminant levels and violations come from EPA's Safe Drinking Water Information System (health-based violations, 2016–present); PFAS from EPA UCMR5 monitoring (2023–2025). Levels shown are the highest recorded value in the violation records; a violation means the contaminant exceeded its federal limit at the system level. Your home's water can differ from the system average. Public domain data; we are not affiliated with the EPA.
