Read this first
Nothing in the federal data for this utility is above a health goal. That covers PFAS, lithium, lead and copper; it does not cover everything, so read what this report cannot tell you below.
No health-based violations on file since 2016. EPA lists 44 monitoring or reporting violations, which are paperwork and testing lapses rather than water quality findings.
What was found
Highlighted: above the health goal. Circled: above the legal limit in at least one sample. Every scale puts the legal line at its middle.
None of the contaminants in the federal data below were found at or above EPA’s reporting levels.
Tested and not found
Below EPA’s minimum reporting level in every sample taken from Feb. 14, 2023 to Nov. 8, 2023. Not found means not measured above that level, which is not the same as zero.

Violations since 2016
No health-based violations on file with EPA since 2016. There are 44 monitoring or reporting violations: a sample missed, late or not reported.
What this report cannot tell you
- Levels of everything else. Federal bulk data carries results for PFAS, lithium, lead and copper, and violations for the rest. Nitrate, arsenic, disinfection byproducts and other levels are in Washington Correctional’s own annual report, which it must send you every year.
- 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.
- Anything after the latest data. SDWIS data is from 2026 Q2; UCMR 5 samples are from Feb. 14, 2023 to Nov. 8, 2023.
