The ZIP code it serves
The short answer
1 result is above the health goal. The worst: Uranium, above the health goal. 13 health-based violations since 2016.
What handles itWhat was found
Nitrate: Wisconsin’s own results, samples taken from Feb. 16, 2022 to Feb. 16, 2026, with EPA’s 2012 to 2019 file for earlier years.
Uranium, arsenic, chromium (total) and fluoride: EPA’s compliance monitoring file, samples taken from April 23, 2012 to Sept. 25, 2018. Newer results are in the utility’s annual water quality report.
Above the health goal1
Uranium
Comes from the source
1.2ppb
Highest yearly average, 2012 to 2017
2017, one sample: 0.56 ppb
Averaged by year, the highest was 1.2 ppb, in 2013: below EPA’s legal limit of 30 ppb, but above its health goal of zero. Its highest single sample was 1.6 ppb. In 2017, the latest year on file, its one sample was 0.56 ppb.
What handles it
- NSF/ANSI 58 look for “Uranium”
5 compounds tested and not foundBelow the reporting level in every sample. Not found is not the same as zero.
- Arsenic
- Chromium (total)
- Fluoride
- 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 58
Claim: Uranium
For: Uranium
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.
Filters with those claims on a certifier’s listing
None of the filters TapBuff has checked so far carry these claims. Search the certifier listings for the claim above.
Compare five-year costsHardness
Very hard, 210 mg/L (12.3 grains per gallon), at its one sampling point, in 2018.
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. Nitrate results here are Wisconsin’s own from 2022 on, with EPA’s national file for 2012 to 2019. Uranium, arsenic, chromium (total) and fluoride come from EPA’s file alone, which ends in 2019. Marshview Terrace’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; Wisconsin’s results run from Feb. 16, 2022 to Feb. 16, 2026; EPA’s compliance samples are from April 23, 2012 to Sept. 25, 2018.
