The ZIP code it serves
The short answer
2 results are above EPA’s legal limit, and 1 more is above the health goal. The worst: Haloacetic acids (HAA5), above the legal limit. 36 health-based violations since 2016.
What handles itWhat was found
Haloacetic acids (HAA5), total trihalomethanes (TTHM), arsenic, chromium (total), fluoride and nitrate: Washington’s own results, samples taken from March 25, 2020 to Sept. 21, 2026, with EPA’s 2012 to 2019 file for earlier years.
Above the legal limit2
Haloacetic acids (HAA5)
Forms or is added in treatment
105ppb
Highest yearly average, 2020 to 2026
Averaged by year, the highest was 105 ppb, in 2026, above EPA’s legal limit of 60 ppb. Its highest single sample was 151 ppb. That was also the latest year on file. EPA recorded violations for haloacetic acids (HAA5) at this utility in 2020, 2023, 2024, 2025 and 2026. Earlier, from 2012 to 2019, EPA’s file shows a highest yearly average of 80.1 ppb, in 2017, and EPA recorded violations in 2018 and 2019.

Total trihalomethanes (TTHM)
Forms or is added in treatment
122ppb
Highest yearly average, 2020 to 2026
2026 average: 114 ppb
Averaged by year, the highest was 122 ppb, in 2025, above EPA’s legal limit of 80 ppb. Its highest single sample was 143 ppb. In 2026, the latest year on file, its four samples averaged 114 ppb, above the limit. EPA recorded violations for total trihalomethanes (TTHM) at this utility in 2020, 2023, 2024, 2025 and 2026. Earlier, from 2012 to 2019, EPA’s file shows a highest yearly average of 106 ppb, in 2019, and EPA recorded a violation in 2019.

- Lead
- Nitrate
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, Arsenic (Pentavalent)<=50 ppb Reduction
For: Total trihalomethanes (TTHM), Arsenic
Other certifiers’ wording: VOC Reduction; Arsenic (III) (50 ppb influent level)
- NSF/ANSI 58
Claims: Trihalomethanes (TTHM) Reduction, Arsenic (Pentavalent)<=50 ppb Reduction
For: Total trihalomethanes (TTHM), Arsenic
Other certifiers’ wording: Arsenic (Pentavalent)<=300 ppb Reduction; Arsenic (V) (300 ppb influent level)
At the tap, or for the whole house?
These come with the water itself, so a whole-house system certified for the same claims treats every tap and shower. A filter at the tap treats drinking water for much less. How whole-house systems compare.

Hardness
Hard, 178 mg/L (10.4 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. Haloacetic acids (HAA5), total trihalomethanes (TTHM), arsenic, chromium (total), fluoride and nitrate results here are Washington’s own from 2020 on, with EPA’s national file for 2012 to 2019. Devries Road Community Assn’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 March 25, 2020 to Sept. 21, 2026.
