The short answer

3 results are above the health goal. The worst: PFOA, above the health goal. No health-based violations on file since 2016.

What handles it

What was found

PFAS: Pennsylvania’s own results under its PFAS rule, entry point samples taken from March 5, 2025 to Sept. 23, 2026.

Lead and copper: EPA SDWIS monitoring periods ending 1993 to 1996.

Arsenic, fluoride, chromium (total), haloacetic acids (HAA5), nitrate, total trihalomethanes (TTHM) and uranium: Pennsylvania’s own results, samples taken from Oct. 7, 2020 to Dec. 29, 2025, with EPA’s 2012 to 2019 file for earlier years.

PFAS: PFOA and PFBS were found, of the six PFAS in EPA’s 2024 drinking water rule; their results are below.

Results from Pennsylvania’s own PFAS monitoring, samples where water enters the pipes; each compound’s card has its four-quarter averages, the way limits are judged. The limits are EPA’s 2024 rule, with compliance due from 2029; EPA has since proposed changes to some of them, explained on each compound’s page. Pennsylvania’s own limits for PFOA and PFOS are in force now. PFBS has no limit of its own and counts only toward EPA’s Hazard Index, which TapBuff works out only from UCMR 5’s averages, so it isn’t given here.

About PFAS certifications

NSF’s PFAS claims are tested to below 20 ppt. EPA’s limit is 4.0 ppt, and EPA says no certification yet shows a filter reaching its levels.

Above the health goal3

PFOA

Comes from the source

Above the health goal

2.2ppt

Highest sample, June 10, 2026; found in 2 of 5

2026 average: 1.1 ppt

The highest sample was 2.2 ppt: below EPA’s new limit of 4.0 ppt, which takes effect in 2029, but above its health goal of zero. No entry point has four quarters of results in a row to average, the way both Pennsylvania’s limit and EPA’s are judged. In 2026, the latest year on file, its two samples averaged 1.1 ppt.

What handles it

Lead

Comes from pipes, often your own

Above the health goal

5.0ppb

90th percentile, 1996

In the latest period, 9 in 10 homes sampled were at or below 5.0 ppb, below EPA’s action level of 15 ppb. The action level drops to 10 ppb on Nov. 1, 2027. EPA’s health goal for lead is zero.

What handles it

Arsenic

Comes from the source

Above the health goal

1.2ppb

Highest yearly average, 2021 to 2024

2024, one sample: 1.1 ppb

Averaged by year, the highest was 1.2 ppb, in 2021: below EPA’s legal limit of 10 ppb, but above its health goal of zero. In 2024, the latest year on file, its one sample was 1.1 ppb. Earlier, from 2012 to 2019, EPA’s file shows a highest yearly average of 1.6 ppb, in 2018.

What handles it

  • NSF/ANSI 58 look for “Arsenic (Pentavalent)<=50 ppb Reduction”
  • NSF/ANSI 53 look for “Arsenic (Pentavalent)<=50 ppb Reduction”

Below EPA’s limits2

Fluoride

Forms or is added in treatment

Below EPA’s limits

0.16ppm

Highest yearly average, 2021 to 2024

2024, one sample: 0.13 ppm

Averaged by year, the highest was 0.16 ppm, in 2021, below EPA’s legal limit of 4.0 ppm. In 2024, the latest year on file, its one sample was 0.13 ppm. Earlier, from 2012 to 2019, EPA’s file shows a highest yearly average of 0.15 ppm, in 2015.

What handles it

PFBS

Comes from the source

Below EPA’s limits

2.6ppt

Highest sample, June 10, 2026; found in 4 of 5

2026 average: 1.3 ppt

The highest sample was 2.6 ppt, below EPA’s hazard index benchmark of 2,000 ppt. PFBS has no legal limit or health goal of its own. In 2026, the latest year on file, its two samples averaged 1.3 ppt.

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.”

  • NSF/ANSI 53

    Claims: PFOA Reduction, Lead Reduction, Arsenic (Pentavalent)<=50 ppb Reduction

    For: PFOA, Lead, Arsenic

    Other certifiers’ wording: Total PFAS Reduction; Perfluorooctanoic Acid (PFOA); Arsenic (III) (50 ppb influent level)

  • NSF/ANSI 58

    Claims: Perfluorooctanoic Acid (PFOA), Lead Reduction, Arsenic (Pentavalent)<=50 ppb Reduction

    For: PFOA, Lead, Arsenic

    Other certifiers’ wording: Arsenic (Pentavalent)<=300 ppb Reduction; Arsenic (V) (300 ppb influent level)

At the tap, or for the whole house?

Lead and copper usually come from pipes and fixtures inside or near your home. A whole-house system sits where water enters, so it cannot catch what your own plumbing adds after it. For those, the filter that counts is the one at the tap. How whole-house systems compare.

No health-based violations on file with EPA since 2016. There are 49 monitoring or reporting violations: a sample missed, late or not reported.

What this report can’t tell you

  • Everything else. Arsenic, fluoride, chromium (total), haloacetic acids (HAA5), nitrate, total trihalomethanes (TTHM) and uranium results here are Pennsylvania’s own from 2020 on, with EPA’s national file for 2012 to 2019. Weidas Mobile Home Park’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; Pennsylvania’s results run from Oct. 7, 2020 to Dec. 29, 2025; Pennsylvania’s PFAS results run from March 5, 2025 to Sept. 23, 2026.

Testing your own tap

Weidas Mobile Home Park’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 Pennsylvania certifies.
