The short answer

1 result is above the health goal. The worst: Uranium, above the health goal. No health-based violations on file since 2016.

What handles it

What was found

Total trihalomethanes (TTHM), haloacetic acids (HAA5) and nitrate: Louisiana’s yearly averages per water system, as CDC’s Environmental Public Health Tracking Network publishes them, 2020 to 2022, with EPA’s 2012 to 2019 file for earlier years.

Uranium, fluoride, arsenic and chromium (total): EPA’s compliance monitoring file, samples taken from May 20, 2013 to July 22, 2019. Newer results are in the utility’s annual water quality report.

Above the health goal

0.02ppb

Highest yearly average, 2013 to 2019

Averaged by year, the highest was 0.02 ppb, in 2019: below EPA’s legal limit of 30 ppb, but above its health goal of zero. Its highest single sample was 0.03 ppb. That was also the latest year on file.

Highest yearly average, 2013 to 2019

2019 average: 0.23 ppm

Averaged by year, the highest was 0.33 ppm, in 2016, below EPA’s legal limit of 4.0 ppm. Its highest single sample was 0.6 ppm. In 2019, the latest year on file, its three samples averaged 0.23 ppm.

What handles it

4 compounds tested and not foundBelow the reporting level in every sample. Not found is not the same as zero.
  • Arsenic
  • Chromium (total)
  • Lead
  • Nitrate

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.”

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.

Filters with those claims on a certifier’s listing

None of the filters TapBuff has checked so far carry these claims. Search the certifier listings for the claim above.

What this report can’t tell you

  • Everything else. Total trihalomethanes (TTHM), haloacetic acids (HAA5) and nitrate results here are Louisiana’s yearly averages as CDC publishes them, from 2020 on, with EPA’s national file for 2012 to 2019. Uranium, fluoride, arsenic and chromium (total) come from EPA’s file alone, which ends in 2019. Village of Morganza Water System’s own annual report, which it must send you every year, has newer results for those and 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; CDC’s yearly averages for Louisiana cover 2020 to 2022; EPA’s compliance samples are from May 20, 2013 to July 22, 2019.

Testing your own tap

Village of Morganza Water System’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 Louisiana certifies.
