What the testing found

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

Total Trihalomethanes

1.9× the federal limit
Measured 0.15 mg/L · federal limit 0.08 mg/L · latest 10/01/2016 · 12 violations since 2016

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

Uranium/Gross Alpha

Over limit
Measured 16 pCi/L · federal limit 15 pCi/L · latest 10/01/2016 · 2 violations since 2016

Gross alpha MCL 15 pCi/L (excludes radon and uranium). Cancer risk. Naturally occurring in groundwater.

Lead

Not detected
Measured 0 ppb · federal limit 15 ppb · latest 12/31/2024 · 0 violations since 2016

No safe level. Damages developing brain/nervous system in children; linked to lower IQ, kidney and cardiovascular harm in adults. Usually enters water from corroding pipes/solder, not the source.

Your recommended fix

Filters certified to clean up your water

Your water shows Total Trihalomethanes, PFOA, PFOS, PFAS. A refrigerator filter handles the most of this in one unit — these three are independently certified for the most of your contaminants (not marketing claims):

The picks above are the convenient option. For a more permanent fix at a lower cost per gallon, an under-sink system treats more of your water in one place. See the best under-sink filters →

Note: gross-alpha radioactivity is best handled by reverse osmosis certified for radionuclides.

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.
