The short answer

4 results are above EPA’s legal limit. The worst: Uranium, above the legal limit. 121 health-based violations since 2016.

What handles it

What was found

Arsenic, fluoride, nitrate, haloacetic acids (HAA5) and total trihalomethanes (TTHM): Texas’s own results, samples taken from July 6, 2021 to Oct. 20, 2021, with EPA’s 2012 to 2019 file for earlier years.

Uranium: EPA’s violation records from 2020 on.

Chromium (total): EPA’s compliance monitoring file, samples taken from April 2, 2013 to Jan. 12, 2016. Newer results are in the utility’s annual water quality report.

Above the legal limit4

Uranium

Comes from the source

Above the legal limit

135ppb

Limit violation, 2023

EPA recorded 11 violations of the legal limit for uranium at this utility in 2023, 2024, 2025 and 2026. The highest measured level, for July 1, 2023 to Sept. 30, 2023, was an average of 135 ppb, about 4.5 times EPA’s legal limit of 30 ppb.

What handles it

Arsenic

Comes from the source

Above the legal limit

14.1ppb

Highest yearly average, 2021

Averaged by year, the highest was 14.1 ppb, in 2021, above EPA’s legal limit of 10 ppb. Its highest single sample was 15.2 ppb. That is the only year on file. EPA recorded violations for arsenic at this utility in 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025 and 2026. Earlier, from 2012 to 2019, EPA’s file shows a highest yearly average of 13.5 ppb, in 2014, and EPA recorded violations in 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019.

Above the legal limit

4.7ppm

Highest yearly average, 2021

Averaged by year, the highest was 4.7 ppm, in 2021, above EPA’s legal limit of 4.0 ppm. Its highest single sample was 5.0 ppm. That is the only year on file. EPA recorded violations for fluoride at this utility in 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025 and 2026. Earlier, from 2012 to 2019, EPA’s file shows a highest yearly average of 4.0 ppm, in 2013, and EPA recorded violations in 2017, 2018 and 2019.

What handles it

Nitrate

Comes from the source

Above the legal limit

8.6ppm

Highest sample; found in 2 of 2

2021 average: 8.6 ppm

The highest sample, in 2021, was 8.6 ppm, below EPA’s legal limit of 10 ppm. That is the only year on file, and its two samples averaged 8.6 ppm. EPA judges this limit at each sampling point, and recorded a violation for nitrate at this utility in 2024. Earlier, from 2012 to 2019, EPA’s file shows a highest sample of 8.4 ppm, in 2014, and EPA recorded a violation in 2017.

Highest yearly average, 2013 to 2016

2016, one sample: 2.2 ppb

Averaged by year, the highest was 6.3 ppb, in 2013, below EPA’s legal limit of 100 ppb. In 2016, the latest year on file, its one sample was 2.2 ppb.

1.1ppb

Highest yearly average, 2021

Averaged by year, the highest was 1.1 ppb, in 2021, below EPA’s legal limit of 80 ppb. That is the only year on file. Earlier, from 2012 to 2019, EPA’s file shows a highest yearly average of 4.4 ppb, in 2014.

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

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

    For: Arsenic, Fluoride, Nitrate

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

  • NSF/ANSI 58

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

    For: Uranium, Arsenic, Fluoride, Nitrate

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

At the tap, or for the whole house?

These come with the water itself, so a whole-house system certified for the same claims treats every tap and shower. A filter at the tap treats drinking water for much less. How whole-house systems compare.

What this report can’t tell you

  • Everything else. Arsenic, fluoride, nitrate, haloacetic acids (HAA5) and total trihalomethanes (TTHM) results here are Texas’s own from 2021 on, with EPA’s national file for 2012 to 2019. Chromium (total) comes from EPA’s file alone, which ends in 2019. Country View MHP’s own annual report, which it must send you every year, has newer results for those and 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 July 6, 2021 to Oct. 20, 2021; EPA’s compliance samples are from April 2, 2013 to Jan. 12, 2016.

Testing your own tap

Country View MHP’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.

The lab Texas certifies closest to the area Country View MHP serves, in a straight line. Call first: certification is test by test, and not every lab takes samples from homeowners.
