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

No inventory data on file

We do not yet have this utility's published Lead Service Line Inventory on file. The EPA Lead and Copper Rule Improvements (LCRI) required every community water system to publish one by October 16, 2024 and to identify and replace any lead lines within 10 years. How lead enters drinking water.

Phase 1 coverage focuses on the largest NC utilities. Smaller systems will be added; in the meantime, ask your utility for their inventory or check their Consumer Confidence Report.

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).

PFAS and emerging contaminants

This system was tested 120 times under EPA's latest PFAS monitoring program; 0 of the 30 chemicals tested were detected.

What is this testing program?

EPA's fifth Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Rule cycle (UCMR 5, 2023 to 2025) required every public water system serving over 3,300 people to test for 29 per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) plus lithium; 30 chemicals in total. Most recent detection per chemical shown below.

No detections

All UCMR 5 samples for this system were below the EPA-defined minimum reporting level (MRL) for every tested contaminant. Substances that were tested but not detected are listed below.

Tested but not detected (30 contaminants)

EPA tested for these substances and every sample was below the minimum reporting level. Absence of detection does not mean true zero; it means below the laboratory's quantitation threshold.

Fluoride

Florida no longer adds fluoride to public water

Under Florida SB 700 (Florida Farm Bill), effective July 1, 2025, public water systems in Florida may not add fluoride to drinking water. Systems that previously adjusted fluoride have stopped. The CDC figures on this page are historical and describe fluoridation before the ban; naturally occurring fluoride in source water is unaffected.

Florida Senate, SB 700

Per CDC My Water's Fluoride (pre-ban)

Before Florida banned it, CALLAWAY, CITY OF WATER SYSTEM added fluoride to its drinking water. It no longer does.

Under Florida SB 700 (Florida Farm Bill), effective July 1, 2025, no public water system in Florida may add fluoride. CDC's My Water's Fluoride listing below predates the ban and has not been updated for it. Naturally occurring fluoride in the source water is unaffected; the utility's annual water quality report has the latest measured concentration.

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.

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.
