Compliance record
Formal violations the EPA has on file for this supplier. A health-based violation means a contaminant limit or a required treatment was breached; the rest are monitoring or reporting failures — still violations, but not a measured health risk.

PFAS detected
PFAS are industrial “forever chemicals”. These are the EPA's latest
nationwide test results (2023–2025).
| Contaminant | Max | Detection rate | Period |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pfpea | 0.0032 µg/L | 1/24 | 2024 |
Other contaminants detected
Each bar shows the measured level as a share of the EPA limit: green is
well under, amber is close to it, red is over. For lead and copper the
limit applies to exactly the 90th-percentile figure shown, so red there
means a real exceedance. For everything else the limit applies to a
running annual average while the figure is the 95th percentile of this
system's samples — over 100% is worth reading, but is not by itself a
violation. Where a single sample came in higher than that percentile, it
is noted under the bar. Formal violations are listed separately.
