No health-based violations reported to EPA in the five years to October 2026, like 78% of the 5,327 systems serving 501–1,000 people.
The latest lead result on file, the 90th percentile of homes sampled in Jan–Jun 2026, was 0.0 ppb, below the 15 ppb action level that applied. The highest in five years was 17.0 ppb. Results below detection are reported as 0, so 0 doesn’t mean no lead at any tap.
