What this means for you in ZIP 84116

Is it safe to drink right now?
Based on the latest EPA data, Salt Lake City Department of Public Utilities has no unresolved health-based violations from the past year. Water that meets federal standards is generally considered safe to drink for most healthy people.
Should I use a filter?
Yes, we recommend considering one. Average PFOS was above the 4 ppt federal limit (compliance deadline April 2029). Other regulated PFAS (PFHxS) also exceeded 2024 limits.
What kind of filter?
For PFAS, look for NSF/ANSI 53 (with an explicit PFOA/PFOS or total PFAS claim) or NSF/ANSI 58 reverse osmosis. 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.
