No health-based violations reported to EPA in the five years to October 2026, like 77% of the 15,074 systems serving 101–500 people.
The latest lead result on file, the 90th percentile of homes sampled in Jan 2022–Dec 2024, was 1.9 ppb, below the 15 ppb action level that applied. The highest in five years was 2.0 ppb. That’s higher than 69% of similar systems’ latest results.
The system’s full record: EPA ECHO report
