The short answer

1 result is above the health goal. The worst: Uranium, above the health goal. No health-based violations on file since 2016.

What handles it

What was found

Fluoride, arsenic, chromium (total) and nitrate: Wisconsin’s own results, samples taken from June 9, 2020 to May 8, 2026, with EPA’s 2012 to 2019 file for earlier years.

Uranium: EPA’s compliance monitoring file, samples taken from May 9, 2018 to May 9, 2018. Newer results are in the utility’s annual water quality report.

Above the health goal1

Uranium

Comes from the source

Above the health goal

0.03ppb

Highest yearly average, 2018

Averaged by year, the highest was 0.03 ppb, in 2018: below EPA’s legal limit of 30 ppb, but above its health goal of zero. That is the only year on file.

Below EPA’s limits1

Fluoride

Forms or is added in treatment

Below EPA’s limits

0.37ppm

Highest yearly average, 2021 to 2024

2024, one sample: 0.29 ppm

Averaged by year, the highest was 0.37 ppm, in 2021, below EPA’s legal limit of 4.0 ppm. In 2024, the latest year on file, its one sample was 0.29 ppm. Earlier, from 2012 to 2019, EPA’s file shows a highest yearly average of 0.35 ppm, in 2012.

What handles it

4 compounds tested and not foundBelow the reporting level in every sample. Not found is not the same as zero.

  • Chromium (total)
  • 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.”

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.

Hardness

Soft, typically 3 mg/L (0.2 grains per gallon), across 2 sampling points, 2017 to 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.

Violations since 2016

No health-based violations on file with EPA since 2016. There are 3 monitoring or reporting violations: a sample missed, late or not reported.

What this report can’t tell you

  • Everything else. Fluoride, arsenic, chromium (total) and nitrate results here are Wisconsin’s own from 2020 on, with EPA’s national file for 2012 to 2019. Uranium comes from EPA’s file alone, which ends in 2019. Meadowview Village Apts’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 June 9, 2020 to May 8, 2026; EPA’s compliance samples are from May 9, 2018 to May 9, 2018.

Testing your own tap

Meadowview Village Apts’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 Wisconsin certifies.
