The short answer

2 results are above EPA’s legal limit, and 1 more is above EPA’s new limit, which takes effect in 2029. The worst: Lead, above the action level. 4 health-based violations since 2016.

What handles it

What was found

PFAS: Pennsylvania’s own results under its PFAS rule, entry point samples taken from Feb. 13, 2025 to July 6, 2026.

Lead and copper: EPA SDWIS monitoring periods ending 1993 to 2001.

Nitrate, arsenic, chromium (total), fluoride, haloacetic acids (HAA5), total trihalomethanes (TTHM) and uranium: Pennsylvania’s own results, samples taken from Jan. 8, 2020 to July 6, 2026, 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 legal limit2

Lead

Comes from pipes, often your own

Above the action level

39ppb

90th percentile, 2001

In the latest period, 9 in 10 homes sampled were at or below 39 ppb, above EPA’s action level of 15 ppb. The action level drops to 10 ppb on Nov. 1, 2027, and this result is at or above that. EPA’s health goal for lead is zero.

What handles it

Nitrate

Comes from the source

Above the legal limit

15.3ppm

Highest sample; found in 27 of 30

2026 average: 3.9 ppm

In 2024, two samples were above EPA’s legal limit of 10 ppm, the highest 15.3 ppm. The next sample at the same point, within 30 days, kept the average above the limit for one; one came back under. In 2026, the latest year on file, its three samples averaged 3.9 ppm. EPA recorded a violation for nitrate at this utility in 2024. Earlier, from 2012 to 2019, EPA’s file shows a highest sample of 11.4 ppm, in 2016.

What handles it

  • NSF/ANSI 58 look for “Nitrate/Nitrite Reduction”
  • NSF/ANSI 53 look for “Nitrate/Nitrite (30 ppm challenge)”

Above EPA’s new limit, which takes effect in 20291

PFOA

Comes from the source

Above EPA’s new limit (2029)

15.7ppt

Highest sample, March 10, 2026; found in 6 of 7

2026 average: 12.4 ppt

The highest sample was 15.7 ppt, about 3.9 times EPA’s new limit of 4.0 ppt, which takes effect in 2029. EPA’s health goal is zero. Compliance will be judged on a running annual average, not one sample. Averaged over four quarters at one entry point, the way both Pennsylvania’s limit and EPA’s are judged, the highest was 12.6 ppt, for the year to Sept. 30, 2026: below Pennsylvania’s limit of 14 ppt and above EPA’s new limit of 4.0 ppt. In 2026, the latest year on file, its three samples averaged 12.4 ppt.

PFBS

Below EPA’s limits

2.9ppt

Highest sample, July 6, 2026; found in 3 of 7

2026 average: 1.6 ppt

The highest sample was 2.9 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 three samples averaged 1.6 ppt.

What handles it

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: Lead Reduction, Nitrate/Nitrite (30 ppm challenge), PFOA Reduction

    For: Lead, Nitrate, PFOA

    Other certifiers’ wording: Total PFAS Reduction; Perfluorooctanoic Acid (PFOA)

  • NSF/ANSI 58

    Claims: Lead Reduction, Nitrate/Nitrite Reduction, Perfluorooctanoic Acid (PFOA)

    For: Lead, Nitrate, PFOA

    Other certifiers’ wording: Nitrate

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.

What this report can’t tell you

  • Everything else. Nitrate, arsenic, chromium (total), fluoride, haloacetic acids (HAA5), total trihalomethanes (TTHM) and uranium results here are Pennsylvania’s own from 2020 on, with EPA’s national file for 2012 to 2019. Woodland Est Mobile Homes’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 Jan. 8, 2020 to July 6, 2026; Pennsylvania’s PFAS results run from Feb. 13, 2025 to July 6, 2026.

Testing your own tap

Woodland Est Mobile Homes’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.
