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.
41 health-based violations since 2016. Details are below.
What was found
Highlighted: above the health goal, or EPA’s health benchmark where there is no goal. Circled: above the legal limit in at least one sample, or the action level. Every scale puts that line at its middle.
PFHxS
Comes from the source
5.5ppt
Highest of 4 samples; found in two
Limit and goal 10
5.5
Detected, below the legal limit and the health goal.
What handles it
- NSF/ANSI 53Look for: Total PFAS ReductionSame claim, other certifiers’ wording: Perfluorohexane Sulfonic Acid (PFHxS)
NSF’s PFAS claims are tested to below 20 ppt. EPA’s limit is 10 ppt, and EPA says no certification yet shows a filter reaching its levels.
EPA UCMR 5, samples taken from Dec. 20, 2023 to March 5, 2024. Each blue tick is one sample where it was found.
Also found, with no federal limit
EPA measured these PFAS to learn how often they occur. None has a legal limit or a health goal yet.
| Compound | Highest sample | Found in | Certification claim |
|---|---|---|---|
| PFBA | 6.9 ppt | 1 of 4 | None covers it |
| PFHxA | 4.2 ppt | 3 of 4 | None covers it |
| PFPeA | 3.3 ppt | 2 of 4 | None covers it |
Tested and not found
Below EPA’s minimum reporting level in every sample taken from March 13, 2023 to Oct. 28, 2024. Not found means not measured above that level, which is not the same as zero.

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 Coweta Pwa’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 March 13, 2023 to Oct. 28, 2024.
What to do next
Nothing here is above a health goal
In the federal data for this utility. That data does not cover everything, which is why the next step matters.
Every contaminant TapBuff tracksGet the utility’s own report
Coweta Pwa must send you a water quality report every year. It lists nitrate, arsenic and byproduct levels this page cannot.
How to read itTest your own tap for lead
Your service line, solder and fixtures decide the lead at your faucet, not the utility’s average.
Lead in your water: what to doDecide if you want a filter at all
A filter for taste or chlorine is a preference, not a need. The standards say what each kind can do.
