What this means for you

Is it safe to drink right now?: EPA records show 1 recent health-based violation for Pinehill Waterworks District that is not marked resolved. Check your utility’s website or bill insert for any boil-water or do-not-drink notice and follow it.
Should I use a filter?: Yes, we recommend considering one. Unresolved health-based issues make a home filter a reasonable backup.
What kind of filter?: If bacteria are the issue, follow any boil notice; NSF/ANSI 55 Class A UV can help after the notice ends. See matched standards and product picks.

This is general information from public EPA data, not medical advice. Lead often comes from a home’s own pipes, so only a test of your tap can tell your exposure. If you are pregnant, caring for an infant, or have a weakened immune system, ask your doctor or health department.

Summary: 8 health-based violations in the last 5 years; 5 monitoring/reporting violations; 8 not yet resolved; PFAS tested (UCMR 5), none above federal limits; Lead 90th percentile below the action level (2023).
