The short answer

1 result is above the limit’s level with no violation recorded, and 2 more are above the health goal. The worst: Arsenic, above the limit’s level, no violation. No health-based violations on file since 2016.

What handles it

What was found

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

Arsenic, uranium, nitrate, total trihalomethanes (TTHM), fluoride, haloacetic acids (HAA5) and chromium (total): Washington’s own results, samples taken from June 1, 2020 to June 5, 2026, with EPA’s 2012 to 2019 file for earlier years.

Above the limit’s level, no violation recorded1

Arsenic

Comes from the source

Above the limit’s level, no violation

12ppb

Highest yearly average, 2022 to 2026

2026, one sample: 6.0 ppb

Averaged by year, the highest was 12 ppb, in 2025, above EPA’s legal limit of 10 ppb. Its highest single sample was 14 ppb. In 2026, the latest year on file, its one sample was 6.0 ppb. 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 9.2 ppb, in 2016.

Above the health goal2

Lead

Comes from pipes, often your own

Above the health goal

4.5ppb

90th percentile, 2021 to 2023

In the latest period, 9 in 10 homes sampled were at or below 4.5 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.

What handles it

Uranium

Comes from the source

Above the health goal

8.3ppb

Highest yearly average, 2020

Averaged by year, the highest was 8.3 ppb, in 2020: below EPA’s legal limit of 30 ppb, but above its health goal of zero. That is the only year on file.

What handles it

Below EPA’s limits4

Nitrate

Comes from the source

Below EPA’s limits

7.8ppm

Highest sample; found in 6 of 7

2026, one sample: 5.4 ppm

The highest sample, in 2022, was 7.8 ppm, below EPA’s legal limit of 10 ppm. In 2026, the latest year on file, its one sample was 5.4 ppm. Earlier, from 2012 to 2019, EPA’s file shows a highest sample of 9.5 ppm, in 2012.

2026, one sample: 0.9 ppb

Averaged by year, the highest was 6.3 ppb, in 2020, below EPA’s legal limit of 80 ppb. In 2026, the latest year on file, its one sample was 0.9 ppb. Earlier, from 2012 to 2019, EPA’s file shows a highest yearly average of 6.6 ppb, in 2014.

Fluoride

0.3ppm

Highest yearly average, 2025

Averaged by year, the highest was 0.3 ppm, in 2025, below EPA’s legal limit of 4.0 ppm. That is the only year on file. Earlier, from 2012 to 2019, EPA’s file shows a highest yearly average of 0.45 ppm, in 2016.

What handles it

Haloacetic acids (HAA5)

Forms or is added in treatment

Below EPA’s limits

1.9ppb

Highest yearly average, 2020 to 2026

2026: not found

Averaged by year, the highest was 1.9 ppb, in 2020, below EPA’s legal limit of 60 ppb. In 2026, the latest year on file, it wasn’t found in its one sample. Earlier, from 2012 to 2019, EPA’s file shows a highest yearly average of 1.1 ppb, in 2013.

  • Chromium (total)

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, Uranium

    For: Arsenic, Lead, Uranium

    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.

Hardness

Hard, 175 mg/L (10.2 grains per gallon), at its one sampling point, in 2025.

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.

Violations since 2016

No health-based violations on file with EPA since 2016. There are 2 monitoring or reporting violations: a sample missed, late or not reported.

What this report can’t tell you

  • Everything else. Arsenic, uranium, nitrate, total trihalomethanes (TTHM), fluoride, haloacetic acids (HAA5) and chromium (total) results here are Washington’s own from 2020 on, with EPA’s national file for 2012 to 2019. Panorama Place Water 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 June 1, 2020 to June 5, 2026.

Testing your own tap

Panorama Place Water Assn’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.
