The short answer
1 result is above EPA’s legal limit. The worst: Uranium, above the legal limit. 3 health-based violations since 2016.
What handles itWhat was found
Uranium, total trihalomethanes (TTHM), haloacetic acids (HAA5) and arsenic: New Hampshire’s yearly averages per water system, as CDC’s Environmental Public Health Tracking Network publishes them, 2022.
Nitrate: EPA’s compliance monitoring file, samples taken from May 8, 2014 to May 1, 2019. Newer results are in the utility’s annual water quality report.
Above the legal limit1
Uranium
Comes from the source
30ppb
Highest yearly average, 2022
Averaged by year, the highest was 30 ppb, in 2022: below EPA’s legal limit of 30 ppb, but above its health goal of zero. That is the only year on file. EPA judges this limit at each sampling point, and recorded violations for uranium at this utility in 2023 and 2024.
What handles it
- NSF/ANSI 58 look for “Uranium”
Below EPA’s limits3
Nitrate
Comes from the source
3.3ppm
Highest sample; found in 7 of 12
2019 average: 1.1 ppm
The highest sample, in 2014, was 3.3 ppm, below EPA’s legal limit of 10 ppm. In 2019, the latest year on file, its two samples averaged 1.1 ppm.
What handles it
- NSF/ANSI 58 look for “Nitrate/Nitrite Reduction”
- NSF/ANSI 53 look for “Nitrate/Nitrite (30 ppm challenge)”
Total trihalomethanes (TTHM)
Forms or is added in treatment
18.3ppb
Highest yearly average, 2022
Averaged by year, the highest was 18.3 ppb, in 2022, below EPA’s legal limit of 80 ppb. That is the only year on file.
What handles it
- NSF/ANSI 53 look for “Trihalomethanes (TTHM) Reduction”
- NSF/ANSI 58 look for “Trihalomethanes (TTHM) Reduction”
Haloacetic acids (HAA5)
Forms or is added in treatment
9.2ppb
Highest yearly average, 2022
Averaged by year, the highest was 9.2 ppb, in 2022, below EPA’s legal limit of 60 ppb. That is the only year on file.
What handles it
No certification claim covers this compound yet.
One compound tested and not foundBelow the reporting level in every sample. Not found is not the same as zero.
- Arsenic
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.”

Claim: Uranium
For: Uranium
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. Uranium, total trihalomethanes (TTHM), haloacetic acids (HAA5) and arsenic results here are New Hampshire’s yearly averages as CDC publishes them, from 2022 on, with EPA’s national file for 2012 to 2019. Nitrate comes from EPA’s file alone, which ends in 2019. The Dox Condos’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 New Hampshire cover 2022; EPA’s compliance samples are from May 8, 2014 to May 1, 2019.
