What this means for you
- Is it safe to drink right now?
- The system’s latest lead 90th-percentile result is above today’s 15 ppb action level. That does not mean every home is over the limit — lead often comes from plumbing in the building — but it is a red flag. Flush cold water before drinking and consider a certified lead filter until you can test your own tap.
- Should I use a filter?
- Yes, we recommend considering one. Lead results are high enough that a certified lead-reduction filter is a sensible precaution.
- What kind of filter?
- For lead, choose NSF/ANSI 53 certified for lead reduction (or RO under 58). 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: 67 health-based violations in the last 5 years; 21 monitoring/reporting violations; 2 not yet resolved; PFAS tested (UCMR 5), none above federal limits; Lead 90th percentile ABOVE the action level (2026).

4 PFAS tested and not detected
PFOA, PFOS, HFPO-DA, PFNA (6 samples each, below EPA minimum reporting levels).
Hazard Index (PFHxS, PFNA, GenX, PFBS): 0.1 (limit 1.0, proposed for repeal).
Averages are per sampling location across UCMR 5 samples (non-detects counted as 0), approximating the rule’s running annual average. Not an official compliance determination; PFOA/PFOS MCL compliance begins April 26, 2029.
Lithium (also tested in UCMR 5, not a PFAS; no federal limit): highest location average 183 ppb.
