The short answer

2 results are above the health goal. The worst: Lead, above the health goal. 7 health-based violations since 2016.

What handles it

What was found

Lead and copper: EPA SDWIS monitoring periods ending 2003 to 2025.

Uranium, nitrate, fluoride, arsenic and chromium (total): Utah’s own results, samples taken from Nov. 23, 2020 to July 20, 2026, with EPA’s 2012 to 2019 file for earlier years.

Above the health goal2

Lead

Comes from pipes, often your own

Above the health goal

11ppb

90th percentile, 2023 to 2025

In the latest period, 9 in 10 homes sampled were at or below 11 ppb, below EPA’s action level of 15 ppb. The action level drops to 10 ppb on Nov. 1, 2027, and this result is at or above that. EPA’s health goal for lead is zero.

What handles it

Uranium

Comes from the source

Above the health goal

5.4ppb

Highest yearly average, 2023 to 2026

2026 average: 4.3 ppb

Averaged by year, the highest was 5.4 ppb, in 2023: below EPA’s legal limit of 30 ppb, but above its health goal of zero. Its highest single sample was 6.5 ppb. In 2026, the latest year on file, its three samples averaged 4.3 ppb. Earlier, from 2012 to 2019, EPA’s file shows a highest yearly average of 8.0 ppb, in 2015.

What handles it

Below EPA’s limits2

Nitrate

Comes from the source

Below EPA’s limits

1.4ppm

Highest sample; found in 9 of 15

2026 average: 0.68 ppm

The highest sample, in 2026, was 1.4 ppm, below EPA’s legal limit of 10 ppm. That was also the latest year on file, and its two samples averaged 0.68 ppm. Earlier, from 2012 to 2019, EPA’s file shows a highest sample of 1.3 ppm, in 2013.

What handles it

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

Fluoride

Forms or is added in treatment

Below EPA’s limits

0.15ppm

Highest yearly average, 2022 to 2026

Averaged by year, the highest was 0.15 ppm, in 2026, below EPA’s legal limit of 4.0 ppm. That was also the latest year on file. Earlier, from 2012 to 2019, EPA’s file shows a highest yearly average of 0.11 ppm, in 2019.

What handles it

2 compounds tested and not foundBelow the reporting level in every sample. Not found is not the same as zero.
  • Arsenic
  • Chromium (total)

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. Uranium, nitrate, fluoride, arsenic and chromium (total) results here are Utah’s own from 2020 on, with EPA’s national file for 2012 to 2019. Green Hills Country 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; Utah’s results run from Nov. 23, 2020 to July 20, 2026.

Testing your own tap

Green Hills Country 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 Utah certifies.
