The short answer

2 results are above the health goal. The worst: Lead, above the health goal. No health-based violations on file since 2016.

What handles it

What was found

Lead and copper: EPA SDWIS monitoring periods ending 2017 to 2025.

Copper: EPA’s file records a utility’s copper only when it exceeds the action level. The last here was 1.4 ppm, for the period ending June 30, 2015. None since is on file, so it is not counted as a current finding.

Arsenic, total trihalomethanes (TTHM), haloacetic acids (HAA5) and nitrate: New York’s yearly summaries per water system, 2020 to 2024, with EPA’s 2012 to 2019 file for earlier years.

Fluoride and chromium (total): EPA’s compliance monitoring file, samples taken from Sept. 17, 2012 to Sept. 4, 2019. Newer results are in the utility’s annual water quality report.

Above the health goal2

Lead

Comes from pipes, often your own

Above the health goal

11.3ppb

90th percentile, 2023 to 2025

In the latest period, 9 in 10 homes sampled were at or below 11.3 ppb, below EPA’s action level of 15 ppb. The action level drops to 10 ppb on Nov. 1, 2027, and this result is at or above that. EPA’s health goal for lead is zero.

What handles it

Arsenic

Comes from the source

Above the health goal

0.2ppb

Highest yearly average, 2020 to 2024

2024: not found

Averaged by year, the highest was 0.2 ppb, in 2020: below EPA’s legal limit of 10 ppb, but above its health goal of zero. In 2024, the latest year on file, it wasn’t found.

What handles it

Below EPA’s limits4

Total trihalomethanes (TTHM)

Below EPA’s limits

53ppb

Highest yearly average, 2020 to 2024

Averaged by year, the highest was 53 ppb, in 2024, below EPA’s legal limit of 80 ppb. That was also the latest year on file. Earlier, from 2012 to 2019, EPA’s file shows a highest yearly average of 55 ppb, in 2016.

Below EPA’s limits

35ppb

Highest yearly average, 2020 to 2024

2024 average: 33.5 ppb

Averaged by year, the highest was 35 ppb, in 2023, below EPA’s legal limit of 60 ppb. In 2024, the latest year on file, it averaged 33.5 ppb. Earlier, from 2012 to 2019, EPA’s file shows a highest yearly average of 31 ppb, in 2017.

2019, one sample: 0.083 ppm

Averaged by year, the highest was 0.17 ppm, in 2015, below EPA’s legal limit of 4.0 ppm. Its highest single sample was 0.23 ppm. In 2019, the latest year on file, its one sample was 0.083 ppm.

What handles it

Nitrate

Below EPA’s limits

0.083ppm

Highest sample; found in 5 of 13

2024 average: 0.074 ppm

The highest sample, in 2024, was 0.083 ppm, below EPA’s legal limit of 10 ppm. That was also the latest year on file, and it averaged 0.074 ppm. Earlier, from 2012 to 2019, EPA’s file shows a highest sample of 0.3 ppm, in 2013.

What handles it

  • NSF/ANSI 58 look for “Nitrate/Nitrite Reduction”
  • NSF/ANSI 53 look for “Nitrate/Nitrite (30 ppm challenge)”
One compound tested and not foundBelow the reporting level in every sample. Not found is not the same as zero.
  • Chromium (total)

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

    Claims: Lead Reduction, Arsenic (Pentavalent)<=50 ppb Reduction

    For: Lead, Arsenic

    Other certifiers’ wording: Arsenic (III) (50 ppb influent level)

  • NSF/ANSI 58

    Claims: Lead Reduction, Arsenic (Pentavalent)<=50 ppb Reduction

    For: Lead, Arsenic

    Other certifiers’ wording: Arsenic (Pentavalent)<=300 ppb Reduction; Arsenic (V) (300 ppb influent level)

At the tap, or for the whole house?

Lead and copper usually come from pipes and fixtures inside or near your home. A whole-house system sits where water enters, so it cannot catch what your own plumbing adds after it. For those, the filter that counts is the one at the tap. How whole-house systems compare.

What this report can’t tell you

  • Everything else. Arsenic, total trihalomethanes (TTHM), haloacetic acids (HAA5) and nitrate results here are New York’s own yearly summaries from 2020 on, with EPA’s national file for 2012 to 2019. Fluoride and chromium (total) come from EPA’s file alone, which ends in 2019. Arcady Bay Estates’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; New York’s yearly summaries cover 2020 to 2024; EPA’s compliance samples are from Sept. 17, 2012 to Sept. 4, 2019.

Testing your own tap

Arcady Bay Estates’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 New York certifies.
