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 2007 to 2024.

Copper: EPA’s file records a utility’s copper only when it exceeds the action level. The last here was 1.5 ppm, for the period ending Dec. 31, 1996. None since is on file, so it is not counted as a current finding.

Nitrate, arsenic, chromium (total) and fluoride: Utah’s own results, samples taken from Feb. 3, 2020 to April 1, 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 Sept. 8, 2014 to Aug. 1, 2019. Newer results are in the utility’s annual water quality report.

Lead

Above the health goal

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.

The highest sample, in 2022, was 0.48 ppm, below EPA’s legal limit of 10 ppm. In 2026, the latest year on file, its three samples averaged 0.39 ppm. Earlier, from 2012 to 2019, EPA’s file shows a highest sample of 0.6 ppm, in 2017.

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. Haloacetic acids (HAA5) and total trihalomethanes (TTHM) come from EPA’s file alone, which ends in 2019. Timber Lakes Water Ssd’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. 3, 2020 to April 1, 2026; EPA’s compliance samples are from Sept. 8, 2014 to Aug. 1, 2019.

Testing your own tap

Timber Lakes Water Ssd’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.
