Results above show data for each system independently.
Data source: EPA Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Rule, 5th cycle (UCMR 5) — January 2026 release.
UCMR 5 tested ~10,000 public water systems serving more than 25 people between 2023-2025 for 29 PFAS compounds.
Detection values represent the highest single-sample result measured at entry points to the distribution system.
