The short answer
2 results are above the health goal. The worst: Arsenic, 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.
Arsenic, nitrate, fluoride and chromium (total): Utah’s own results, samples taken from Feb. 10, 2021 to Aug. 25, 2026, with EPA’s 2012 to 2019 file for earlier years.
Haloacetic acids (HAA5) and total trihalomethanes (TTHM): EPA’s compliance monitoring file, samples taken from Aug. 20, 2012 to Sept. 4, 2019. Newer results are in the utility’s annual water quality report.
Above the health goal2
Arsenic
Comes from the source
7.2ppb
Highest yearly average, 2022 to 2025
2025 average: 7.1 ppb
Averaged by year, the highest was 7.2 ppb, in 2022: below EPA’s legal limit of 10 ppb, but above its health goal of zero. Its highest single sample was 7.4 ppb. In 2025, the latest year on file, its two samples averaged 7.1 ppb. Earlier, from 2012 to 2019, EPA’s file shows a highest yearly average of 7.9 ppb, in 2016.

Lead
Comes from pipes, often your own
2.2ppb
90th percentile, 2022 to 2024
In the latest period, 9 in 10 homes sampled were at or below 2.2 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.

Haloacetic acids (HAA5)
Forms or is added in treatment
20ppb
Highest yearly average, 2012 to 2019
Averaged by year, the highest was 20 ppb, in 2019, below EPA’s legal limit of 60 ppb. That was also the latest year on file.

Nitrate
Comes from the source
2.8ppm
Highest sample; found in 14 of 14
2026 average: 1.7 ppm
The highest sample, in 2021, was 2.8 ppm, below EPA’s legal limit of 10 ppm. In 2026, the latest year on file, its two samples averaged 1.7 ppm. Earlier, from 2012 to 2019, EPA’s file shows a highest sample of 3.1 ppm, in 2016.

Highest yearly average, 2012 to 2019
2019, one sample: 5.1 ppb
Averaged by year, the highest was 13.8 ppb, in 2013, below EPA’s legal limit of 80 ppb. Its highest single sample was 22.2 ppb. In 2019, the latest year on file, its one sample was 5.1 ppb.

0.42ppm
Highest yearly average, 2022 to 2025
2025 average: 0.3 ppm
Averaged by year, the highest was 0.42 ppm, in 2022, below EPA’s legal limit of 4.0 ppm. Its highest single sample was 0.45 ppm. In 2025, the latest year on file, its two samples averaged 0.3 ppm. Earlier, from 2012 to 2019, EPA’s file shows a highest yearly average of 0.48 ppm, in 2019.

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: Arsenic (Pentavalent)<=50 ppb Reduction, Lead Reduction
For: Arsenic, Lead
Other certifiers’ wording: Arsenic (III) (50 ppb influent level)
- NSF/ANSI 58
Claims: Arsenic (Pentavalent)<=50 ppb Reduction, Lead Reduction
For: Arsenic, Lead
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, fluoride and chromium (total) results here are Utah’s own from 2021 on, with EPA’s national file for 2012 to 2019. Haloacetic acids (HAA5) and total trihalomethanes (TTHM) come from EPA’s file alone, which ends in 2019. Riverside - North Garland Water Co’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 Feb. 10, 2021 to Aug. 25, 2026; EPA’s compliance samples are from Aug. 20, 2012 to Sept. 4, 2019.
