The short answer

1 result is above the health goal. The worst: Nitrate, above the health goal. 1 health-based violation since 2016.

What handles it

What was found

Nitrate, fluoride, total trihalomethanes (TTHM), chromium (total), haloacetic acids (HAA5), arsenic and uranium: Texas’s own results, samples taken from March 12, 2020 to Oct. 1, 2026, with EPA’s 2012 to 2019 file for earlier years.

Above the health goal1

Nitrate

Comes from the source

Above the health goal

39.4ppm

Highest sample; found in 28 of 28

2026 average: 14.1 ppm

From 2024 to 2026, two samples were above EPA’s legal limit of 10 ppm, the highest 39.4 ppm in 2026. The next sample at the same point, within 30 days, kept the average above the limit for one; one came back under. 10 ppm is also EPA’s health goal. That was also the latest year on file, and its four samples averaged 14.1 ppm, above the limit. EPA recorded no violation for nitrate at this utility since 2020. Earlier, from 2012 to 2019, EPA’s file shows a highest sample of 11.7 ppm, in 2019, and EPA recorded a violation in 2019.

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

    Claim: Nitrate/Nitrite (30 ppm challenge)

    For: Nitrate

  • NSF/ANSI 58

    Claim: Nitrate/Nitrite Reduction

    For: Nitrate

    Other certifiers’ wording: 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. Nitrate, fluoride, total trihalomethanes (TTHM), chromium (total), haloacetic acids (HAA5), arsenic and uranium results here are Texas’s own from 2020 on, with EPA’s national file for 2012 to 2019. Lazy Bend Estates’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 12, 2020 to Oct. 1, 2026.

Testing your own tap

Lazy Bend Estates’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.
