The short answer

1 result is above EPA’s legal limit. The worst: Lead, above the action level. No health-based violations on file since 2016.

What handles it

What was found

Lead and copper: EPA SDWIS monitoring periods ending 1993 to 2026.

Total trihalomethanes (TTHM), haloacetic acids (HAA5) and nitrate: Texas’s own results, samples taken from Jan. 29, 2020 to July 21, 2026, with EPA’s 2012 to 2019 file for earlier years.

Above the legal limit1

Lead

Comes from pipes, often your own

Above the action level

18.2ppb

90th percentile, 2024 to 2026

In the latest period, 9 in 10 homes sampled were at or below 18.2 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

Below EPA’s limits3

Total trihalomethanes (TTHM)

Forms or is added in treatment

Below EPA’s limits

59.5ppb

Highest yearly average, 2020 to 2026

Averaged by year, the highest was 59.5 ppb, in 2026, below EPA’s legal limit of 80 ppb. Its highest single sample was 77.7 ppb. That was also the latest year on file. Earlier, from 2012 to 2019, EPA’s file shows a highest yearly average of 53.8 ppb, in 2015.

What handles it

  • NSF/ANSI 53 look for “Trihalomethanes (TTHM) Reduction”
  • NSF/ANSI 58 look for “Trihalomethanes (TTHM) Reduction”

Haloacetic acids (HAA5)

Forms or is added in treatment

Below EPA’s limits

39.6ppb

Highest yearly average, 2020 to 2026

2026 average: 28.8 ppb

Averaged by year, the highest was 39.6 ppb, in 2024, below EPA’s legal limit of 60 ppb. Its highest single sample was 87.6 ppb. In 2026, the latest year on file, its six samples averaged 28.8 ppb. EPA recorded no violation for haloacetic acids (HAA5) at this utility since 2020. Earlier, from 2012 to 2019, EPA’s file shows a highest yearly average of 21.7 ppb, in 2018.

What handles it

No certification claim covers this compound yet.

Nitrate

Comes from the source

Below EPA’s limits

0.97ppm

Highest sample; found in 7 of 7

2026, one sample: 0.31 ppm

The highest sample, in 2021, was 0.97 ppm, below EPA’s legal limit of 10 ppm. In 2026, the latest year on file, its one sample was 0.31 ppm.

What handles it

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

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.”

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. Total trihalomethanes (TTHM), haloacetic acids (HAA5) and nitrate results here are Texas’s own from 2020 on, with EPA’s national file for 2012 to 2019. Corbet WSC’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 Jan. 29, 2020 to July 21, 2026.

Testing your own tap

Corbet WSC’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.
