AVION WC - DRID (BEND, OR), which serves about 60 people, has recorded 1 health-based drinking-water contaminant in EPA violation records since 2016, most notably Total Coliform / E. coli. Its most recent lead 90th-percentile sample was 0.0 ppb, within the 15 ppb federal action level. A certified water filter can reduce these at the tap — see the certified options for each below.
What the testing found
Measured levels from EPA violation records, compared to the federal limit (MCL). The black line marks the legal limit.
Lead
Not detectedNo 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.
Also on record
Total Coliform / E. coli
1 violationRecorded as a federal action-level / treatment violation (1 since 2016).
Indicator bacteria signalling fecal contamination pathway. Regulated by the Revised Total Coliform Rule.
What to do about it
A certified point-of-use filter is the most direct fix for most of these contaminants. Match the filter to what's actually in your water — a filter certified for lead may do nothing for PFAS or fluoride.

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.
