The short answer

Nothing in EPA’s and Washington’s records for this utility is above a health goal. That covers nitrate, arsenic and other regulated chemicals, plus lead and copper, not everything. No health-based violations on file since 2016.

What was found

Haloacetic acids (HAA5), total trihalomethanes (TTHM), arsenic, chromium (total), fluoride and nitrate: Washington’s own results, samples taken from March 16, 2020 to March 18, 2026, with EPA’s 2012 to 2019 file for earlier years.

Hardness

Soft, 55 mg/L (3.2 grains per gallon), at its one sampling point, 2021 to 2024.

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.

No health-based violations on file with EPA since 2016. There is 1 monitoring or reporting violation: a sample missed, late or not reported.

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. Silver Springs Estates’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 16, 2020 to March 18, 2026.

Testing your own tap

Silver Springs Estates’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.

No lab Washington certifies is within 75 miles of the area Silver Springs Estates serves on the state’s list. Some take samples by mail; the state’s page lists them all.
