CDC's My Water's Fluoride listing reports this system adjusts fluoride to the recommended level, or buys water from a system that does.
Per CDC My Water's Fluoride · See details below
Past 5 years: 8 health-based violations on file, all marked Resolved or Archived. See compliance history below.
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).
| Contaminant | Most recent | Date | Risk |
|---|---|---|---|
| PB90 | 0.00114 mg/L | June 30, 2025 | Caution |
Data from EPA SDWIS (Lead and Copper Rule sample table) , last refreshed May 24, 2026.
PFAS and emerging contaminants
This system was tested 180 times under EPA's latest PFAS monitoring program; 8 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.
| Contaminant | Most recent detection | Date | Risk |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0.0673 mg/L | July 11, 2023 | Concern | |
| 29.1 ng/L | March 15, 2023 | Concern | |
| 33.1 ng/L | March 15, 2023 | Concern | |
| 5.7 ng/L | March 15, 2023 | Caution | |
| 28.7 ng/L | March 15, 2023 | No federal limit | |
| 6.2 ng/L | March 15, 2023 | No federal limit | |
| 7.3 ng/L | March 15, 2023 | No federal limit | |
| 8.1 ng/L | March 15, 2023 | No federal limit |
Tested but not detected (22 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.
Data from EPA UCMR 5 (Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Rule) , last refreshed May 24, 2026.
Fluoride
Per CDC My Water's Fluoride
TOWN OF ANTHONY adds fluoride to its drinking water.
CDC classifies a system as fluoridated when it adjusts fluoride to the recommended level, or when it buys water from a system that does. The U.S. Public Health Service recommends 0.7 mg/L for community water fluoridation.

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.
4 active health-based violations
EPA records 4 health-based violations that have not yet been resolved. An additional 8 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.
How to find TOWN OF ANTHONY's CCR:
- Search the web for "TOWN OF ANTHONY consumer confidence report" . The PDF is usually on the utility's own website.
- Or call the utility directly. Their phone number is in the contact section below.
