The short answer
1 result is above the limit’s level with no violation recorded, and 1 more is above the health goal. The worst: Arsenic, above the limit’s level, no violation. No health-based violations on file since 2016.
What handles itWhat was found
Lead and copper: EPA SDWIS monitoring periods ending 2007 to 2025.
Arsenic, nitrate, fluoride and chromium (total): Utah’s own results, samples taken from March 10, 2020 to Sept. 25, 2025, 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. 24, 2013 to Sept. 10, 2019. Newer results are in the utility’s annual water quality report.
Above the limit’s level, no violation recorded1
Arsenic
Comes from the source
10.5ppb
Highest yearly average, 2020 to 2025
Averaged by year, the highest was 10.5 ppb, in 2025, above EPA’s legal limit of 10 ppb. Its highest single sample was 12.9 ppb. That was also the latest year on file. EPA judges this limit on running averages at each sampling point, and recorded no violation for arsenic at this utility since 2020. Results like these with no violation often include water sampled before treatment or blending; the utility’s annual report says what reaches the tap. Earlier, from 2012 to 2019, EPA’s file shows a highest yearly average of 9.9 ppb, in 2014, and EPA recorded a violation in 2012.

Above the health goal1
Lead
Comes from pipes, often your own
1.4ppb
90th percentile, 2023 to 2025
In the latest period, 9 in 10 homes sampled were at or below 1.4 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.

Below EPA’s limits4
Nitrate
Comes from the source
3.5ppm
Highest sample; found in 16 of 18
2025 average: 3.5 ppm
The highest sample, in 2025, was 3.5 ppm, below EPA’s legal limit of 10 ppm. That was also the latest year on file, and its three samples averaged 3.5 ppm. Earlier, from 2012 to 2019, EPA’s file shows a highest sample of 1.8 ppm, in 2016.

Fluoride
Forms or is added in treatment
0.98ppm
Highest yearly average, 2022 to 2025
2025 average: 0.67 ppm
Averaged by year, the highest was 0.98 ppm, in 2022, below EPA’s legal limit of 4.0 ppm. Its highest single sample was 1.3 ppm. In 2025, the latest year on file, its three samples averaged 0.67 ppm. Earlier, from 2012 to 2019, EPA’s file shows a highest yearly average of 0.8 ppm, in 2019.

2019, one sample: 7.8 ppb
Averaged by year, the highest was 9.6 ppb, in 2017, below EPA’s legal limit of 80 ppb. In 2019, the latest year on file, its one sample was 7.8 ppb.

3.1ppb
Highest yearly average, 2013 to 2019
2019, one sample: 2.8 ppb
Averaged by year, the highest was 3.1 ppb, in 2017, below EPA’s legal limit of 60 ppb. In 2019, the latest year on file, its one sample was 2.8 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: 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 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. Ukon Water Company’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 March 10, 2020 to Sept. 25, 2025; EPA’s compliance samples are from Sept. 24, 2013 to Sept. 10, 2019.
