The short answer

1 result is above EPA’s legal limit, and 2 more are above the health goal. The worst: Copper, 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 2022.

Arsenic, nitrate, chromium (total) and fluoride: Utah’s own results, samples taken from Aug. 28, 2023 to June 25, 2026.

Above the legal limit1

Copper

Comes from pipes, often your own

Above the action level

1.6ppm

90th percentile, 2022

In the latest period, 9 in 10 homes sampled were at or below 1.6 ppm, above EPA’s action level of 1.3 ppm.

What handles it

Above the health goal2

2.6ppb

90th percentile, 2026

In the latest period, 9 in 10 homes sampled were at or below 2.6 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.

Comes from the source

Above the health goal

0.6ppb

Highest yearly average, 2025

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

    For: Copper, Lead, Arsenic

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

  • NSF/ANSI 58

    Claims: Copper Reduction, Lead Reduction, Arsenic (Pentavalent)<=50 ppb Reduction

    For: Copper, Lead, Arsenic

    Other certifiers’ wording: 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. Arsenic, nitrate, chromium (total) and fluoride results here are Utah’s own from 2023 on, with EPA’s national file for 2012 to 2019. Fool Creek Culinary Water Company’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; Utah’s results run from Aug. 28, 2023 to June 25, 2026.

Testing your own tap

Fool Creek Culinary 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.
