The short answer

3 results are above the health goal. The worst: Nitrate, above the health goal. 2 health-based violations since 2016.

What handles it

What was found

Lead and copper: EPA SDWIS monitoring periods ending 1996 to 2024.

Nitrate, arsenic, haloacetic acids (HAA5), total trihalomethanes (TTHM), fluoride, chromium (total) and uranium: Texas’s own results, samples taken from March 10, 2020 to Aug. 25, 2026, with EPA’s 2012 to 2019 file for earlier years.

Above the health goal3

Nitrate

Comes from the source

Above the health goal

14.6ppm

Highest sample; found in 28 of 28

2026 average: 3.0 ppm

One sample, in 2025, was above EPA’s legal limit of 10 ppm, at 14.6 ppm. The next sample at the same point, within 30 days, brought the average back under the limit. 10 ppm is also EPA’s health goal. In 2026, the latest year on file, its three samples averaged 3.0 ppm. EPA recorded no violation for nitrate at this utility since 2020.

What handles it

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

Lead

Comes from pipes, often your own

Above the health goal

3.8ppb

90th percentile, 2022 to 2024

In the latest period, 9 in 10 homes sampled were at or below 3.8 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

1.5ppb

Highest yearly average, 2020 to 2026

2026, one sample: 1.5 ppb

Averaged by year, the highest was 1.5 ppb, in 2025: below EPA’s legal limit of 10 ppb, but above its health goal of zero. In 2026, the latest year on file, its one sample was 1.5 ppb.

What handles it

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

Haloacetic acids (HAA5)

Forms or is added in treatment

Below EPA’s limits

33.7ppb

Highest yearly average, 2021 to 2026

2026, one sample: 28.6 ppb

Averaged by year, the highest was 33.7 ppb, in 2024, below EPA’s legal limit of 60 ppb. In 2026, the latest year on file, its one sample was 28.6 ppb. Earlier, from 2012 to 2019, EPA’s file shows a highest yearly average of 35.8 ppb, in 2016.

Total trihalomethanes (TTHM)

Forms or is added in treatment

Below EPA’s limits

32.8ppb

Highest yearly average, 2021 to 2026

Averaged by year, the highest was 32.8 ppb, in 2026, below EPA’s legal limit of 80 ppb. That was also the latest year on file. Earlier, from 2012 to 2019, EPA’s file shows a highest yearly average of 19.4 ppb, in 2013.

Fluoride

Forms or is added in treatment

Below EPA’s limits

0.76ppm

Highest yearly average, 2020 to 2026

2026, one sample: 0.27 ppm

Averaged by year, the highest was 0.76 ppm, in 2025, below EPA’s legal limit of 4.0 ppm. In 2026, the latest year on file, its one sample was 0.27 ppm.

What handles it

Chromium (total)

Comes from the source

Below EPA’s limits

3.1ppb

Highest yearly average, 2020 to 2026

2026: not found

Averaged by year, the highest was 3.1 ppb, in 2021, below EPA’s legal limit of 100 ppb. In 2026, the latest year on file, it wasn’t found in its one sample.

What handles it

One compound tested and not foundBelow the reporting level in every sample. Not found is not the same as zero.
  • Uranium

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: Nitrate/Nitrite (30 ppm challenge), Lead Reduction, Arsenic (Pentavalent)<=50 ppb Reduction

    For: Nitrate, Lead, Arsenic

    Other certifiers’ wording: Arsenic (III) (50 ppb influent level)

  • NSF/ANSI 58

    Claims: Nitrate/Nitrite Reduction, Lead Reduction, Arsenic (Pentavalent)<=50 ppb Reduction

    For: Nitrate, Lead, Arsenic

    Other certifiers’ wording: Nitrate; 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.

What this report can’t tell you

  • Everything else. Nitrate, arsenic, haloacetic acids (HAA5), total trihalomethanes (TTHM), fluoride, chromium (total) and uranium results here are Texas’s own from 2020 on, with EPA’s national file for 2012 to 2019. City of Weinert’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; Texas’s results run from March 10, 2020 to Aug. 25, 2026.

Testing your own tap

City of Weinert’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 Texas certifies.
