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

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 Dec. 31, 2015. None since is on file, so it is not counted as a current finding.

Uranium, haloacetic acids (HAA5), total trihalomethanes (TTHM), nitrate and arsenic: New York’s yearly summaries per water system, 2022 to 2024, with EPA’s 2012 to 2019 file for earlier years.

2.5ppb

Highest yearly average, 2024

Averaged by year, the highest was 2.5 ppb, in 2024: below EPA’s legal limit of 30 ppb, but above its health goal of zero. Its highest single sample was 2.9 ppb. That is the only year on file. Earlier, from 2012 to 2019, EPA’s file shows a highest yearly average of 2.1 ppb, in 2015.

2024 average: 0.64 ppm

The highest sample, in 2024, was 0.64 ppm, below EPA’s legal limit of 10 ppm. That is the only year on file, and it averaged 0.64 ppm. Earlier, from 2012 to 2019, EPA’s file shows a highest sample of 0.72 ppm, in 2015.

2 compounds tested and not foundBelow the reporting level in every sample. Not found is not the same as zero.
  • Arsenic
  • Lead

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. Uranium, haloacetic acids (HAA5), total trihalomethanes (TTHM), nitrate and arsenic results here are New York’s own yearly summaries from 2022 on, with EPA’s national file for 2012 to 2019. Meadowbrook Farm’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; New York’s yearly summaries cover 2022 to 2024.

Testing your own tap

Meadowbrook Farm’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.
