2 issues above the federal safety limit

Past 5 years: 2 health-based violations on file, all marked Resolved or Archived. See compliance history below.

No recent lead, copper, or PFAS test data on file from this system. Most other contaminants are tracked through violation reports rather than per-page test tables.

Risk classification follows EPA's published values for safe drinking water, with caution and concern bands reviewed by a clinician. Past resolved violations do not influence this card. See methodology.

Lead service line inventory

Lead or galvanized-requiring-replacement service lines confirmed in this system

PLEASANT VALLEY BAPTIST CHURCH reports 0 confirmed lead service lines, 1 galvanized requiring replacement, 3 non-lead, 0 unknown (total 4) in the EPA SDWIS service line inventory (2026Q1).

  • 0 confirmed lead service lines
  • 1 galvanized requiring replacement (LCRI treats these as lead)
  • 0 unknown (0.0% of total)
  • 3 confirmed non-lead (75.0%)
  • 4 total service lines in the system

Why this is a health concern. A galvanized iron service line that was ever installed downstream of a historic lead component (a lead service line, a lead gooseneck connector, or lead solder) absorbed lead into its corrosion layer over decades. The pipe continues to release that accumulated lead into water for years after the upstream lead source is removed. That is why EPA's LCRI treats GRR lines as lead and requires their replacement on the same 10-year schedule as confirmed lead lines. Read our plain-English lead guide.

What to do if your service line might be lead
  1. Ask your utility to check the service-line classification for your specific address. Many utilities provide a public address-lookup tool linked from the inventory page.
  2. Get on the replacement queue. Under the LCRI, utilities must replace all lead and galvanized-requiring- replacement lines within 10 years (clock generally starts November 2027). Some prioritize requests.
  3. Until the line is replaced: flush the tap 30 seconds after long stagnation, use cold water for drinking and cooking, and consider an NSF/ANSI 53 lead-rated tap filter.
  4. Talk to your clinician about a blood lead test for anyone in the home, especially a pregnant person or a child under 6. Lead in drinking water guide.

Lead and copper test results

The most recent measurement per contaminant from EPA's Lead and Copper Rule sampling.

Why only lead and copper, and not arsenic, nitrate, or others?

EPA's bulk SDWIS download is the only nationwide per-system sample data they publish, and it only includes the Lead and Copper Rule table. Values for other regulated contaminants (TTHMs, nitrate, arsenic, etc.) appear on this page only when they trigger a violation. For the full per-system contaminant suite, see the utility's annual Consumer Confidence Report (link further down the page).

No recent Lead and Copper sample data

EPA's national SDWIS bulk dataset does not include Lead and Copper Rule sampling rows for this system in the most recent release. That can mean the system is small enough to be on a reduced sampling schedule, or that recent samples have not yet been submitted to EPA. Check the system's annual Consumer Confidence Report (see below) for the most recent local measurements.

Compliance history

EPA-recorded violations against this system over the last 5 years.

How to read this section

Health-based violations are when a measured limit was exceeded; the measured concentration is shown alongside the EPA federal limit where SDWIS published it. Monitoring and reporting items are paperwork issues (missed sample dates, late filings) that do not themselves indicate unsafe water.

1 active health-based violation

EPA records 1 health-based violation that has not yet been resolved. An additional 2 health-based violations in the last 5 years are already resolved.

Where to see every contaminant this utility tested for

EPA's bulk SDWIS dataset gives MyTapWater.us per-system measured values for lead and copper, plus violation records for everything else. To see every regulated contaminant this utility tested for in the past year (TTHMs, HAA5, nitrate, arsenic, fluoride, chromium, etc.) with measured values, read the utility's Consumer Confidence Report (CCR).

Every community water system is required by EPA to publish a CCR annually, by July 1, listing every contaminant they sampled, the measured value, the federal limit, and any health-based exceedances. Most utilities post the report online; some mail it with your bill.
