The short answer
Nothing in EPA’s and Wisconsin’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
Nitrate: Wisconsin’s own results, samples taken from March 18, 2020 to Aug. 14, 2024, with EPA’s 2012 to 2019 file for earlier years.
Fluoride, arsenic and chromium (total): EPA’s compliance monitoring file, samples taken from Feb. 27, 2018 to Feb. 27, 2018. Newer results are in the utility’s annual water quality report.

- Arsenic
- Chromium (total)
- Lead
Hardness
Soft, 1 mg/L (0.1 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.
Violations since 2016
No health-based violations on file with EPA since 2016.
What this report can’t tell you
Everything else. Nitrate results here are Wisconsin’s own from 2020 on, with EPA’s national file for 2012 to 2019. Fluoride, arsenic and chromium (total) come from EPA’s file alone, which ends in 2019. River Villa Mobile Home Court’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.
