EPA UCMR 5 final occurrence data (EPA page last updated 2026-08-28; samples collected January 2023 – December 2025) ↗

UCMR 5 is a one-time EPA monitoring program, not a compliance determination. The values shown are the highest single sample result at any of the system's sampling points; one result above 4.0 ppt does not mean the system violates the PFAS rule, which is judged on running annual averages under separate compliance monitoring. Results describe the public water system, not an individual home.

All PFAS detected

None of the 29 PFAS were detected at or above EPA's UCMR 5 minimum reporting levels in this system's samples.

ppt = parts per trillion (ng/L). EPA reports UCMR 5 results in µg/L; we multiply by 1,000. “Samples with detection” counts results at or above the UCMR 5 minimum reporting level.

What the limits mean

In April 2024 EPA set enforceable limits (MCLs) of 4.0 ppt each for PFOA and PFOS, plus 10 ppt for PFHxS, PFNA and HFPO-DA (GenX) and a Hazard Index for mixtures, with compliance based on a running annual average at each sampling point and due in 2029 (EPA ↗). In May 2026 EPA proposed letting systems request two more years for PFOA/PFOS (to April 2031) and rescinding the PFHxS, PFNA, GenX and Hazard Index limits (EPA: extension proposal ↗ · EPA: rescission proposal ↗). These are proposals, not final rules, as of the date this page was built.

What you can do

Ask your water utility for its latest PFAS results and plans; its annual water quality report (Consumer Confidence Report) is a good place to start (EPA: Consumer Confidence Reports ↗).
Read EPA's information on the PFAS drinking water rule (EPA PFAS rule page ↗).
Home filters: EPA's fact sheet says filters certified to NSF/ANSI 53 or NSF/ANSI 58 (reverse osmosis) for PFAS reduction, such as PFOA and PFOS, are available; check the packaging or the certifier's directory (EPA home filter fact sheet ↗). We do not recommend specific products.
We do not give medical advice. For health questions, see EPA's resources and talk to a health professional.

PFAS disclaimer: PFAS results are copied from EPA's UCMR 5 dataset and describe samples taken at a public water system's entry points between 2023 and 2025, not water at any specific address. Levels may have changed since sampling (for example, after new treatment). “Not detected” means below EPA's UCMR 5 minimum reporting level, not zero. This is not a compliance determination or a water test. Contact your water utility for current information.
