Perfluorooctanoic acid
11ng/L
Each block = 4.0 ng/L federal MCL (2024)
Short answer: Two PFAS, PFOA and PFOS, are above their federal limits (2024 limits that water systems have until at least 2029 to meet); 3 more are detected with no federal limit, and everything else measured is within its reference or not detected. City of Albertville, Municipal Ub of the serves 29,367 residents.

ALBERTVILLE, MUNICIPAL UB OF THE CITY OF (EPA PWSID AL0000933) delivers surface water to 29,367 residents. This report reflects 29 individual PFAS result(s) from the source UCMR5 observations and the latest Lead & Copper Rule 90th-percentile result. Water hardness and disinfectant type are pending the utility's own annual report.
0health-based violations in the last 10 years
From EPA SDWIS. A clean violation history means no enforcement action was recorded; it does not cover contaminants without a limit.
No result is not a pass. Your utility's annual water quality report may list them, and a certified lab test covers your own tap.
A tap test can confirm levels at your home before you choose treatment.
PFOA 11 ng/L, above the 4 ng/L limit (+5 more PFAS detected)
Each card names which Albertville findings its current certification covers, and which it doesn't.

PurityMap does not give a safe/unsafe verdict; it shows what the public records measured. For Albertville, PFOA 11 ng/L and PFOS 4.8 ng/L were measured above the 4 ng/L federal limit in EPA's 2024 testing. ALBERTVILLE, MUNICIPAL UB OF THE CITY OF (PWSID AL0000933) has a Purity Score of 57/100 (confidence: moderate), assessed at the water-system level and computed only from contaminants that were measured. Water can change in your own pipes, so a certified test is the only way to know what comes out of your tap.

Surface water (primary source of record in EPA SDWIS).
Yes. In EPA's UCMR 5 testing (2024-04-29 to 2025-01-15), PFOA was measured at 11 ng/L against a 4 ng/L federal limit and PFOS was measured at 4.8 ng/L against a 4 ng/L federal limit. PFHxA (5.8 ng/L, below the 400,000 ng/L state limit) was also detected. PFBA (9.6 ng/L), PFHpA (5.2 ng/L) and PFPeA (5.3 ng/L) were also detected; they have no federal or state limit. Reverse osmosis and filters certified to NSF/ANSI 53 for PFOA/PFOS reduce them at the tap.
Lead is not in Albertville's current published record. Lead usually enters from a building's own pipes and fixtures, so a certified home test is the way to know yours.
PurityMap's current record for Albertville holds 31 findings: 2 above a reference, 1 detected within the reference, 3 detected with no limit and 25 not detected. Each finding links to its dated public record; a parameter that was never monitored is shown as pending, not as a pass.
