The short answer

Nothing in EPA’s and Montana’s records for this utility is above a health goal. That covers nitrate, arsenic and other regulated chemicals, plus lead and copper, not everything. No health-based violations on file since 2016.

What was found

Total trihalomethanes (TTHM) and haloacetic acids (HAA5): Montana’s own results, samples taken from Aug. 11, 2020 to Aug. 27, 2026, with EPA’s 2012 to 2019 file for earlier years.

What this report can’t tell you

  • Everything else. Total trihalomethanes (TTHM) and haloacetic acids (HAA5) results here are Montana’s own from 2020 on, with EPA’s national file for 2012 to 2019. Emerald View Park’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; Montana’s results run from Aug. 11, 2020 to Aug. 27, 2026.

Testing your own tap

Emerald View Park’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 Montana certifies.

No lab Montana certifies is within 75 miles of the area Emerald View Park serves on the state’s list. Some take samples by mail; the state’s page lists them all.

Montana State Environmental Laboratory: Private well testing packages for bacteria, metals, nutrients, anions, organic chemicals and more, open to the public. Samples can be mailed, sent by the lab's free courier, or dropped off at the lab. Environmental Laboratory, Montana Department of Public Health and Human Services.
