No health-based violations reported to EPA in the five years to October 2026, like 80% of the 5,012 systems serving 3,301–10,000 people.
The latest lead result on file, the 90th percentile of homes sampled in Jan–Dec 2025, was 4.0 ppb, below the 15 ppb action level that applied. The highest in five years was 7.0 ppb. That’s higher than 87% of similar systems’ latest results.
