Your utility's EPA records (violations, lead sampling, and PFAS results) explained in plain English, right here. Then a quick quiz for a recommendation.

Enter your ZIP code

Look up what your local water utility has reported to the EPA, then take a 60-second quiz about what you see, taste, and smell at home. We'll use both to recommend the right solution.

Get your water report

Enter your ZIP code to see your utility's violations, lead testing, and PFAS results from public EPA records, explained in plain English.

Data comes from U.S. EPA and Census public records. It covers public water systems, not private wells, and it isn't a test of your home's tap. If you're on a well, a free in-home test is the best way to know what's in your water.

Water self-check quiz

Question 1 of 8

Hard water

Hard water has a lot of dissolved calcium and magnesium. It leaves scale on fixtures and in water heaters, spots on dishes, and makes soap lather poorly.

Chlorine & chloramine

Utilities add these to kill germs. They keep water safe on its way to you, but many people dislike the taste and smell.

Lead

Lead usually gets into water from old service lines, pipes, solder, and fixtures. The U.S. banned lead pipes and lead solder in drinking-water plumbing in 1986.

PFAS

PFAS are long-lasting "forever chemicals" found in many water supplies. In 2024 the EPA set the first national drinking-water limits for several of them.

What's in the report

Your water system, matched from EPA service-area maps, with how many people it serves and its source
Health-based violations on record and whether they were resolved
Lead: the utility's most recent 90th-percentile result versus the 15 ppb action level
PFAS: the utility's UCMR 5 results compared with the 2029 federal limits

Common questions

Where does the data come from?

From public U.S. government records: the EPA's Safe Drinking Water Information System (violations and lead and copper testing), the EPA's UCMR 5 PFAS testing (2023 to 2025), the EPA's estimated water-system service areas, and Census ZIP code areas. It describes your utility's water, not a test of your own tap, and some records may be out of date or missing.

Does it work for private wells?

No. Public databases cover utilities, not private wells. If your ZIP is mostly outside utility service areas, we'll suggest a free in-home test.

Does the report show hardness?

Not yet. Hardness isn't in the EPA datasets the report uses. Check your utility's annual water quality report (CCR) or book an in-home test.
