GERMANTON ELEM SCHOOL | DANBURY, NC water quality

Current water quality

Caution: a recent measurement is approaching a regulatory limit

Lead measured at 0.0072 mg/L in the most recent sample (caution).

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

Risk classification follows EPA published MCL / MCLG / HAL values with caution and concern bands reviewed by a clinician. Past resolved violations do not influence this badge. 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 Rule sample data

The most recent measurement per contaminant from EPA's Lead and Copper Rule (LCR) sample table. This is the only per-system sample data EPA publishes in the bulk SDWIS download; values for other regulated contaminants (TTHMs, nitrate, arsenic, etc.) are tracked on this page only when they trigger a violation.

Most recent measurements per contaminant (Lead and Copper Rule) . Sorted by risk: concern first, then caution, then unrated, then safe.
Contaminant	Most recent	Date	Risk
Lead PB90	0.0072 mg/L	December 31, 2025	Caution Lead has no safe level (MCLG=0). LCR action level is 0.015 mg/L for the 90th-percentile sample; the LCRI (Oct 2024) lowers the action level to 0.010 mg/L effective Nov 2027. Caution at any detection above LOD; concern anchored to the future LCRI value (0.010 mg/L) for forward consistency. Learn more about Lead. Source.

Compliance history

EPA-recorded violations against this system over the last 5 years. Health-based violations are when a measured limit was exceeded; monitoring and reporting items are paperwork issues (missed sample dates, late filings) that do not themselves indicate unsafe water.

2 resolved health-based violations in the last 5 years

All 2 health-based violations in the last 5 years are marked Resolved or Archived. Past violations do not represent current water quality.

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.

How to find GERMANTON ELEM SCHOOL's CCR:

Search "GERMANTON ELEM SCHOOL consumer confidence report" in your browser. The PDF is usually on the utility's own website.
Or check EPA's CCR finder for NC0285415 (some utilities upload theirs to EPA, some do not).
Or call the utility directly. Their phone number is in the contact section below.
