Water comes from Peyton Pines water system

No health-based violations reported to EPA in the five years to October 2026, like 78% of the 11,392 systems serving <=100 people.
The latest lead result on file, the 90th percentile of homes sampled in Jan 2023–Dec 2025, was 0.0 ppb, below the 15 ppb action level that applied. The highest in five years was 0.6 ppb. Results below detection are reported as 0, so 0 doesn’t mean no lead at any tap.
