The short answer
4 results are above the health goal. The worst: Nitrate, above the health goal. No health-based violations on file since 2016.
What handles itWhat was found
Lead and copper: EPA SDWIS monitoring periods ending 2004 to 2024.
Nitrate, arsenic, uranium, fluoride and chromium (total): Utah’s own results, samples taken from Jan. 7, 2020 to Jan. 22, 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. 13, 2016 to Sept. 24, 2019. Newer results are in the utility’s annual water quality report.
Above the health goal4
Nitrate
Comes from the source
11.5ppm
Highest sample; found in 153 of 155
2026, one sample: 0.87 ppm
In 2020, two samples were above EPA’s legal limit of 10 ppm, the highest 11.5 ppm. Every one came back under the limit on the next sample at the same point. 10 ppm is also EPA’s health goal. In 2026, the latest year on file, its one sample was 0.87 ppm. EPA recorded no violation for nitrate at this utility since 2020. Earlier, from 2012 to 2019, EPA’s file shows a highest sample of 11.6 ppm, in 2019.

Arsenic
Comes from the source
5.3ppb
Highest yearly average, 2022 to 2026
Averaged by year, the highest was 5.3 ppb, in 2026: below EPA’s legal limit of 10 ppb, but above its health goal of zero. That was also the latest year on file. Earlier, from 2012 to 2019, EPA’s file shows a highest yearly average of 5.3 ppb, in 2019.

Uranium
Comes from the source
11.8ppb
Highest yearly average, 2022
Averaged by year, the highest was 11.8 ppb, in 2022: below EPA’s legal limit of 30 ppb, but above its health goal of zero. That is the only year on file. Earlier, from 2012 to 2019, EPA’s file shows a highest yearly average of 16.5 ppb, in 2019.

Lead
Comes from pipes, often your own
0.6ppb
90th percentile, 2022 to 2024
In the latest period, 9 in 10 homes sampled were at or below 0.6 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.

2019, one sample: 10.9 ppb
Averaged by year, the highest was 33 ppb, in 2016, below EPA’s legal limit of 80 ppb. In 2019, the latest year on file, its one sample was 10.9 ppb.

2019, one sample: 5.8 ppb
Averaged by year, the highest was 7.8 ppb, in 2016, below EPA’s legal limit of 60 ppb. In 2019, the latest year on file, its one sample was 5.8 ppb.

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, Uranium, Lead Reduction
For: Nitrate, Arsenic, Uranium, 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.

Hardness
Hard, 155 mg/L (9.1 grains per gallon), at its one sampling point, in 2022.
Hardness is calcium and magnesium. EPA sets no limit for it: it shows up as scale on fixtures and in water heaters, and as soap that won’t lather. USGS calls water above 60 mg/L moderately hard, above 120 hard and above 180 very hard.
Violations since 2016
No health-based violations on file with EPA since 2016. There are 64 monitoring or reporting violations: a sample missed, late or not reported.
What this report can’t tell you
Everything else. Nitrate, arsenic, uranium, fluoride and chromium (total) 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. Moroni City’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 Jan. 7, 2020 to Jan. 22, 2026; EPA’s compliance samples are from Sept. 13, 2016 to Sept. 24, 2019.
