The short answer

1 result is above the limit’s level with no violation recorded. The worst: Uranium, above the limit’s level, no violation. No health-based violations on file since 2016.

What handles it

What was found

Uranium, haloacetic acids (HAA5), arsenic, nitrate and total trihalomethanes (TTHM): North Carolina’s yearly averages per water system, as CDC’s Environmental Public Health Tracking Network publishes them, 2020 to 2023, with EPA’s 2012 to 2019 file for earlier years.

Fluoride and chromium (total): EPA’s compliance monitoring file, samples taken from April 16, 2013 to May 1, 2019. Newer results are in the utility’s annual water quality report.

Above the limit’s level, no violation recorded1

Uranium

Comes from the source

Above the limit’s level, no violation

38.7ppb

Highest yearly average, 2022 to 2023

Averaged by year, the highest was 38.7 ppb, in 2023, above EPA’s legal limit of 30 ppb. That was also the latest year on file. EPA judges this limit on running averages at each sampling point, and recorded no violation for uranium at this utility since 2020. Results like these with no violation often include water sampled before treatment or blending; the utility’s annual report says what reaches the tap. Earlier, from 2012 to 2019, EPA’s file shows a highest yearly average of 28 ppb, in 2013.

Fluoride

0.12ppm

Highest yearly average, 2013 to 2019

2019: not found

Averaged by year, the highest was 0.12 ppm, in 2013, below EPA’s legal limit of 4.0 ppm. In 2019, the latest year on file, it wasn’t found in its one sample.

What handles it

5 compounds tested and not foundBelow the reporting level in every sample. Not found is not the same as zero.
  • Arsenic
  • Chromium (total)
  • Lead
  • Nitrate
  • Total trihalomethanes (TTHM)

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), arsenic, nitrate and total trihalomethanes (TTHM) results here are North Carolina’s yearly averages as CDC publishes them, 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. Bridle Wood S/D’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 North Carolina cover 2020 to 2023; EPA’s compliance samples are from April 16, 2013 to May 1, 2019.

Testing your own tap

Bridle Wood S/D’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 North Carolina certifies.
