The short answer

1 result is above the health goal. The worst: Lead, above the health goal. No health-based violations on file since 2016.

What handles it

What was found

Lead and copper: EPA SDWIS monitoring periods ending 2004 to 2026.

Nitrate, arsenic, chromium (total) and fluoride: Utah’s own results, samples taken from Aug. 25, 2020 to July 21, 2026, with EPA’s 2012 to 2019 file for earlier years.

Total trihalomethanes (TTHM) and haloacetic acids (HAA5): EPA’s compliance monitoring file, samples taken from Sept. 12, 2014 to Aug. 15, 2017. Newer results are in the utility’s annual water quality report.

Above the health goal1

Lead

Comes from pipes, often your own

Above the health goal

4.8ppb

90th percentile, 2024 to 2026

In the latest period, 9 in 10 homes sampled were at or below 4.8 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

Below EPA’s limits2

Nitrate

Comes from the source

Below EPA’s limits

0.63ppm

Highest sample; found in 14 of 14

2026 average: 0.45 ppm

The highest sample, in 2023, was 0.63 ppm, below EPA’s legal limit of 10 ppm. In 2026, the latest year on file, its two samples averaged 0.45 ppm. Earlier, from 2012 to 2019, EPA’s file shows a highest sample of 0.61 ppm, in 2019.

What handles it

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

Total trihalomethanes (TTHM)

Forms or is added in treatment

Below EPA’s limits

1.8ppb

Highest yearly average, 2014 to 2017

2017, one sample: 0.6 ppb

Averaged by year, the highest was 1.8 ppb, in 2014, below EPA’s legal limit of 80 ppb. In 2017, the latest year on file, its one sample was 0.6 ppb.

What handles it

  • NSF/ANSI 53 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.”

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, chromium (total) and fluoride results here are Utah’s own from 2020 on, with EPA’s national file for 2012 to 2019. Total trihalomethanes (TTHM) and haloacetic acids (HAA5) come from EPA’s file alone, which ends in 2019. Acme Water Company’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; Utah’s results run from Aug. 25, 2020 to July 21, 2026; EPA’s compliance samples are from Sept. 12, 2014 to Aug. 15, 2017.

Testing your own tap

Acme Water Company’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 Utah certifies.
