Water comes from Hasty Water Authority

12 health-based violations reported to EPA in the five years to October 2026: radium (combined radium-226 and -228) ×7, radioactivity (gross alpha, excluding radon and uranium) ×3, a lead and copper treatment requirement (Lead and Copper Rule) ×2, the latest beginning Jul 2026. 77% of the 15,074 systems serving 101–500 people had none. 1 older violation is still open, since 2025: a lead and copper treatment requirement (Lead and Copper Rule), per EPA’s records.
The latest lead result on file, the 90th percentile of homes sampled in Jul–Dec 2026, was 4.0 ppb, below the 15 ppb action level that applied. The highest in five years was 22.0 ppb. That’s higher than 87% of similar systems’ latest results.
