The short answer

1 result is above EPA’s legal limit. The worst: Total trihalomethanes (TTHM), above the legal limit. 14 health-based violations since 2016.

What handles it

What was found

Copper: EPA’s file records a utility’s copper only when it exceeds the action level. The last here was 3.8 ppm, for the period ending Dec. 31, 2008. None since is on file, so it is not counted as a current finding.

Total trihalomethanes (TTHM), haloacetic acids (HAA5), nitrate, arsenic, chromium (total) and fluoride: Washington’s own results, samples taken from March 25, 2020 to Oct. 10, 2025, with EPA’s 2012 to 2019 file for earlier years.

Total trihalomethanes (TTHM)

Above the legal limit

74.7ppb

Highest yearly average, 2020 to 2025

Averaged by year, the highest was 74.7 ppb, in 2025, below EPA’s legal limit of 80 ppb. Its highest single sample was 110 ppb. That was also the latest year on file. EPA judges this limit at each sampling point, and recorded a violation for total trihalomethanes (TTHM) at this utility in 2020. Earlier, from 2012 to 2019, EPA’s file shows a highest yearly average of 185 ppb, in 2019, and EPA recorded violations in 2018 and 2019.

Highest yearly average, 2020 to 2025

2025, one sample: 34.9 ppb

Averaged by year, the highest was 41.4 ppb, in 2024, below EPA’s legal limit of 60 ppb. Its highest single sample was 50.2 ppb. In 2025, the latest year on file, its one sample was 34.9 ppb. Earlier, from 2012 to 2019, EPA’s file shows a highest yearly average of 72.8 ppb, in 2018, and EPA recorded violations in 2018 and 2019.

Nitrate

Below EPA’s limits

0.22ppm

Highest sample; found in 1 of 6

2025: not found

The highest sample, in 2024, was 0.22 ppm, below EPA’s legal limit of 10 ppm. In 2025, the latest year on file, it wasn’t found in its one sample. Earlier, from 2012 to 2019, EPA’s file shows a highest sample of 0.6 ppm, in 2012.

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.”

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

Very hard, 356 mg/L (20.8 grains per gallon), at its one sampling point, in 2020.

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. Woodglen Prd Water System’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 Oct. 10, 2025.

Testing your own tap

Woodglen Prd Water System’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.
