The short answer

2 results are above EPA’s legal limit, and 1 more is above the health goal. The worst: Nitrate, above the legal limit. 26 health-based violations since 2016.

What handles it

What was found

Lead and copper: EPA SDWIS monitoring periods ending 2001.

Nitrate, arsenic, fluoride, chromium (total), haloacetic acids (HAA5) and total trihalomethanes (TTHM): Texas’s own results, samples taken from April 22, 2021 to March 6, 2025, with EPA’s 2012 to 2019 file for earlier years.

Above the legal limit2

Nitrate

Comes from the source

Above the legal limit

10.7ppm

Highest sample; found in 16 of 16

2025, one sample: 10.7 ppm

From 2021 to 2025, five samples were above EPA’s legal limit of 10 ppm, the highest 10.7 ppm in 2021. Five have no follow-up sample on file within 30 days. In 2025, the latest year on file, its one sample was 10.7 ppm, above the limit. EPA recorded violations for nitrate at this utility in 2020, 2021, 2023, 2024, 2025 and 2026. Earlier, from 2012 to 2019, EPA’s file shows a highest sample of 10.5 ppm, in 2016, and EPA recorded violations in 2016 and 2018.

What handles it

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

Arsenic

Comes from the source

Above the legal limit

9.7ppb

Highest yearly average, 2021 to 2025

2025, one sample: 9.1 ppb

Averaged by year, the highest was 9.7 ppb, in 2021: below EPA’s legal limit of 10 ppb, but above its health goal of zero. Its highest single sample was 11.8 ppb. In 2025, the latest year on file, its one sample was 9.1 ppb. EPA judges this limit at each sampling point, and recorded a violation for arsenic at this utility in 2021. Earlier, from 2012 to 2019, EPA’s file shows a highest yearly average of 9.2 ppb, in 2016, and EPA recorded violations in 2017, 2018 and 2019.

What handles it

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

Above the health goal1

Lead

Comes from pipes, often your own

Above the health goal

1.6ppb

90th percentile, 2001

In the latest period, 9 in 10 homes sampled were at or below 1.6 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

Below EPA’s limits1

Fluoride

Forms or is added in treatment

Below EPA’s limits

1.6ppm

Highest yearly average, 2024

Averaged by year, the highest was 1.6 ppm, in 2024, below EPA’s legal limit of 4.0 ppm. That is the only year on file. Earlier, from 2012 to 2019, EPA’s file shows a highest yearly average of 1.2 ppm, in 2015.

What handles it

3 compounds tested and not foundBelow the reporting level in every sample. Not found is not the same as zero.
  • Chromium (total)
  • Haloacetic acids (HAA5)
  • Total trihalomethanes (TTHM)

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), Arsenic (Pentavalent)<=50 ppb Reduction, Lead Reduction

    For: Nitrate, Arsenic, Lead

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

  • NSF/ANSI 58

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

    For: Nitrate, Arsenic, Lead

    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, fluoride, chromium (total), 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. Warren Road Subdivision Water Supply’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 April 22, 2021 to March 6, 2025.

Testing your own tap

Warren Road Subdivision Water Supply’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.

No lab Texas certifies is within 75 miles of the area Warren Road Subdivision Water Supply serves on the state’s list. Some take samples by mail; the state’s page lists them all.

Texas Well Owner Network, Texas A&M AgriLife Extension: Well Informed screening events, where well owners bring in water samples to be screened for common contaminants, followed by an hour-long session explaining the results. Upcoming events are on the network's calendar. Trainings, Texas Well Owner Network.
