1 result is above EPA’s legal limit. The worst: Total trihalomethanes (TTHM), above the legal limit. 5 health-based violations since 2016.

What handles it

What was found

Total trihalomethanes (TTHM) and haloacetic acids (HAA5): Kansas’s own results, samples taken from Jan. 20, 2020 to July 28, 2026, with EPA’s 2012 to 2019 file for earlier years.

56ppb

Highest yearly average, 2020 to 2026

2026, one sample: 48 ppb

Averaged by year, the highest was 56 ppb, in 2020, below EPA’s legal limit of 80 ppb. Its highest single sample was 78 ppb. In 2026, the latest year on file, its one sample was 48 ppb. EPA judges this limit at each sampling point, and recorded a violation for total trihalomethanes (TTHM) at this utility in 2020. Earlier, from 2012 to 2019, EPA’s file shows a highest yearly average of 95.5 ppb, in 2014, and EPA recorded a violation in 2019.

What handles it

A certification covers specific claims, not a whole standard. Look for these claims on the certifier’s listing, not the box. Wording varies a little: NSF writes “Lead Reduction,” WQA just “Lead.”

  • NSF/ANSI 53

    Claim: Trihalomethanes (TTHM) Reduction

At the tap, or for the whole house?

These come with the water itself, so a whole-house system certified for the same claims treats every tap and shower. A filter at the tap treats drinking water for much less. How whole-house systems compare.

What this report can’t tell you

  • Everything else. Total trihalomethanes (TTHM) and haloacetic acids (HAA5) results here are Kansas’s own from 2020 on, with EPA’s national file for 2012 to 2019. Wilson Co RWD 13’s own annual report, which it must send you every year, has the contaminants this page does not show.

  • Your own plumbing. Lead results are the 90th percentile across homes the utility samples. Your home’s service line, solder and fixtures decide yours. A certified lab test is the only way to know.

  • What it means for your health. This page reports what the records show and EPA’s limits and goals; it is not medical advice. If you are worried about a health effect, talk to a doctor or your local health department.

  • Anything after the latest data. SDWIS data is from 2026 Q3; UCMR 5 didn’t sample this utility; Kansas’s results run from Jan. 20, 2020 to July 28, 2026.

Testing your own tap

Wilson Co RWD 13’s results are for the water it sends out. What your own service line, solder and fixtures add shows up only in a test of your tap, by a lab Kansas certifies.
