Current water quality

Concern: current measurement or unresolved violation crosses a regulatory limit

PFOA measured at 4.7 ng/L via UCMR 5 sampling (concern).

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
PB90
0 mg/L December 31, 2025 Below regulatory thresholds

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.

PFAS and emerging contaminants (UCMR 5)

EPA's fifth Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Rule cycle (2023; 2025) tested every public water system serving over 3,300 people for 29 per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and lithium. This system was tested 45 times across UCMR 5; 6 of those substances were detected in at least one sample. Most-recent detection per contaminant shown below.

Most recent UCMR 5 detection per contaminant . Sorted by risk: concern first, then caution, then unrated, then safe.
Contaminant Most recent detection Date Risk
4.7 ng/LAugust 13, 2024 Concern

April 2024 final rule. MCLG=0. Caution at typical lab reporting limit (0.5 ng/L); concern at EPA MCL (4 ppt), the most conservative federal/state value. Learn more about PFOA. Source.

7.7 ng/LAugust 13, 2024 Concern

April 2024 final rule. MCLG=0. Caution at typical lab reporting limit (0.5 ng/L); concern at EPA MCL (4 ppt). Learn more about PFOS. Source.

6 ng/LAugust 13, 2024 No federal limit

EPA has not set a federal drinking-water limit for this contaminant. It is among the substances EPA is studying under the Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Rule (UCMR). See the guide for what the science currently says. Learn more about PFBA.

3 ng/LAugust 13, 2024 No federal limit

EPA has not set a federal drinking-water limit for this contaminant. It is among the substances EPA is studying under the Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Rule (UCMR). See the guide for what the science currently says. Learn more about PFBS.

3.1 ng/LAugust 13, 2024 No federal limit

EPA has not set a federal drinking-water limit for this contaminant. It is among the substances EPA is studying under the Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Rule (UCMR). See the guide for what the science currently says. Learn more about PFHxA.

4.2 ng/LAugust 13, 2024 No federal limit

EPA has not set a federal drinking-water limit for this contaminant. It is among the substances EPA is studying under the Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Rule (UCMR). See the guide for what the science currently says. Learn more about PFPeA.

Tested but not detected (24 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.

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 SMITHFIELD, TOWN OF's CCR:

  • Search "SMITHFIELD, TOWN OF consumer confidence report" in your browser. The PDF is usually on the utility's own website.
  • Or check EPA's CCR finder for NC0351010 (some utilities upload theirs to EPA, some do not).
  • Or call the utility directly. Their phone number is in the contact section below.
