The ZIP code it serves
The short answer
1 result is above EPA’s legal limit, and 1 more is above the health goal. The worst: Arsenic, above the legal limit. No health-based violations on file since 2016.
What handles itWhat was found
Nitrate: Washington’s own results, samples taken from March 25, 2020 to March 18, 2026, with EPA’s 2012 to 2019 file for earlier years.
Arsenic, uranium, fluoride and chromium (total): EPA’s compliance monitoring file, samples taken from June 12, 2012 to Oct. 23, 2019. Newer results are in the utility’s annual water quality report.
Above the legal limit1
Arsenic
Comes from the source
3.0ppb
Highest yearly average, 2015 to 2019
2019, one sample: 2.5 ppb
Averaged by year, the highest was 3.0 ppb, in 2015: below EPA’s legal limit of 10 ppb, but above its health goal of zero. In 2019, the latest year on file, its one sample was 2.5 ppb. EPA judges this limit at each sampling point, and recorded violations for arsenic at this utility in 2012 and 2013.
What handles it
- NSF/ANSI 58 look for “Arsenic (Pentavalent)<=50 ppb Reduction”
- NSF/ANSI 53 look for “Arsenic (Pentavalent)<=50 ppb Reduction”
Above the health goal1
Uranium
Comes from the source
26.5ppb
Highest yearly average, 2012 to 2019
2019, one sample: 24 ppb
Averaged by year, the highest was 26.5 ppb, in 2014: below EPA’s legal limit of 30 ppb, but above its health goal of zero. In 2019, the latest year on file, its one sample was 24 ppb.
What handles it
- NSF/ANSI 58 look for “Uranium”
Below EPA’s limits3
Nitrate
Comes from the source
1.5ppm
Highest sample; found in 7 of 7
2026, one sample: 0.7 ppm
The highest sample, in 2020, was 1.5 ppm, below EPA’s legal limit of 10 ppm. In 2026, the latest year on file, its one sample was 0.7 ppm. Earlier, from 2012 to 2019, EPA’s file shows a highest sample of 3.9 ppm, in 2015.

- NSF/ANSI 53 look for “Nitrate/Nitrite (30 ppm challenge)”
Fluoride
Forms or is added in treatment
0.25ppm
Highest yearly average, 2015 to 2019
Averaged by year, the highest was 0.25 ppm, in 2019, below EPA’s legal limit of 4.0 ppm. That was also the latest year on file.
What handles it
- NSF/ANSI 58 look for “Fluoride Reduction”
- NSF/ANSI 53 look for “Fluoride”
Chromium (total)
Comes from the source
2.9ppb
Highest yearly average, 2015 to 2019
2019, one sample: 2.1 ppb
Averaged by year, the highest was 2.9 ppb, in 2015, below EPA’s legal limit of 100 ppb. In 2019, the latest year on file, its one sample was 2.1 ppb.
What handles it
- NSF/ANSI 58 look for “Chromium (Hexavalent) Reduction”
- NSF/ANSI 53 look for “Chromium Reduction”
One compound tested and not foundBelow the reporting level in every sample. Not found is not the same as zero.
- Lead
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
Claim: Arsenic (Pentavalent)<=50 ppb Reduction
For: Arsenic
Other certifiers’ wording: Arsenic (III) (50 ppb influent level)
- NSF/ANSI 58
Claims: Arsenic (Pentavalent)<=50 ppb Reduction, Uranium
For: Arsenic, Uranium
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.

What this report can’t tell you
Everything else. Nitrate results here are Washington’s own from 2020 on, with EPA’s national file for 2012 to 2019. Arsenic, uranium, fluoride and chromium (total) come from EPA’s file alone, which ends in 2019. P and G Orchards Camp 2’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; Washington’s results run from March 25, 2020 to March 18, 2026; EPA’s compliance samples are from June 12, 2012 to Oct. 23, 2019.
