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: Total trihalomethanes (TTHM), above the limit’s level, no violation. 1 health-based violation since 2016.

What handles it

What was found

Lead and copper: EPA SDWIS monitoring periods ending 2002 to 2023.

Total trihalomethanes (TTHM), haloacetic acids (HAA5), nitrate, arsenic, chromium (total) and fluoride: Washington’s own results, samples taken from June 29, 2020 to July 13, 2026, with EPA’s 2012 to 2019 file for earlier years.

Above the limit’s level, no violation recorded1

Total trihalomethanes (TTHM)

Forms or is added in treatment

Above the limit’s level, no violation

92ppb

Highest yearly average, 2020 to 2026

2026 average: 72 ppb

Averaged by year, the highest was 92 ppb, in 2025, above EPA’s legal limit of 80 ppb. Its highest single sample was 94.6 ppb. In 2026, the latest year on file, its three samples averaged 72 ppb. EPA judges this limit on running averages at each sampling point, and recorded no violation for total trihalomethanes (TTHM) 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 23.6 ppb, in 2014.

Above the health goal1

Lead

Comes from pipes, often your own

Above the health goal

6.7ppb

90th percentile, 2021 to 2023

In the latest period, 9 in 10 homes sampled were at or below 6.7 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 limits2

Haloacetic acids (HAA5)

Below EPA’s limits

60.4ppb

Highest yearly average, 2020 to 2026

2026 average: 41.3 ppb

Averaged by year, the highest was 60.4 ppb, in 2020, which EPA rounds to 60 ppb to compare: at its legal limit of 60 ppb, not above it. Its highest single sample was 70.6 ppb. In 2026, the latest year on file, its three samples averaged 41.3 ppb. EPA recorded no violation for haloacetic acids (HAA5) at this utility since 2020. Earlier, from 2012 to 2019, EPA’s file shows a highest yearly average of 1.7 ppb, in 2014.

Highest sample; found in 1 of 7

2026: not found

The highest sample, in 2021, was 0.031 ppm, below EPA’s legal limit of 10 ppm. In 2026, the latest year on file, it wasn’t found in its one sample.

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: Trihalomethanes (TTHM) Reduction, Lead Reduction

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

Soft, 46 mg/L (2.7 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.

What this report can’t tell you

  • Everything else. Total trihalomethanes (TTHM), haloacetic acids (HAA5), nitrate, arsenic, chromium (total) and fluoride results here are Washington’s own from 2020 on, with EPA’s national file for 2012 to 2019. Beverly Beach Homeowners’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; Washington’s results run from June 29, 2020 to July 13, 2026.

Testing your own tap

Beverly Beach Homeowners’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 Washington certifies.
