The ZIP code it serves
The short answer
1 result is above the limit’s level with no violation recorded. The worst: Haloacetic acids (HAA5), above the limit’s level, no violation. No health-based violations on file since 2016.
What was found
Lead and copper: copper at 280 mg/L (2005) is left out of this report: it is one of the results Ohio sent EPA in 2006, all at µg/L magnitudes though EPA’s file marks them mg/L.
Haloacetic acids (HAA5), nitrate, total trihalomethanes (TTHM), arsenic, chromium (total) and fluoride: Ohio’s own results, samples taken from Feb. 2, 2020 to July 9, 2025, with EPA’s 2012 to 2019 file for earlier years.
Above the limit’s level, no violation recorded1
Haloacetic acids (HAA5)
Forms or is added in treatment
63ppb
Highest yearly average, 2020 to 2025
2025: not found
Averaged by year, the highest was 63 ppb, in 2020, above EPA’s legal limit of 60 ppb. In 2025, the latest year on file, it wasn’t found in its one sample. EPA judges this limit on running averages at each sampling point, and recorded no violation for haloacetic acids (HAA5) 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.

What this report can’t tell you
Everything else. Haloacetic acids (HAA5), nitrate, total trihalomethanes (TTHM), arsenic, chromium (total) and fluoride results here are Ohio’s own from 2020 on, with EPA’s national file for 2012 to 2019. Trees Condominium’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; Ohio’s results run from Feb. 2, 2020 to July 9, 2025.
