Perfluorohexanesulfonic acid
11.4ng/L
Each block = 10 ng/L federal MCL (2024)
Short answer: PFHxS is above its federal limit (a 2024 limit that water systems have until at least 2029 to meet); lithium sits above a screening level. Anoka serves 17,798 residents.
Your water bill or annual water quality report names your actual supplier.
The bar is drawn in blocks of the 10 ng/L federal MCL (2024), so the length shows how far above it the result sits.

Anoka (EPA PWSID MN1020001) delivers groundwater to 17,798 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.
Plumbing inside a home can add lead that the system record can't show. A tap test tells you what reaches your glass.
PFHxS 11.4 ng/L, above the 10 ng/L limit (+1 more PFAS detected)
lead 2 µg/L, below the 15 µg/L action level
Screening tells you if something is worth a closer look; a lab result is the number you can act on.

Lead, read as one of three ranges: 0–4, 5–15 or 15+ ppb
What it can't tell you: It shows a lead range, not an exact level, and tests nothing else unless you pay extra for the optional lab test.
Lab-certified results

50+ substances, including lead, copper, arsenic, nitrate, hardness and coliform bacteria
What it can't tell you: It does not test PFAS, and not every result on the panel falls under the lab's accredited scope.

PurityMap does not give a safe/unsafe verdict; it shows what the public records measured. For Anoka, PFHxS 11.4 ng/L was measured above the 10 ng/L federal limit in EPA's 2024 testing; the lead 90th-percentile result was 2 µg/L against the 15 µg/L action level. Anoka (PWSID MN1020001) has a Purity Score of 73/100 (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.
Anoka (PWS ID MN1020001) is the public water system on record for Anoka, Minnesota, serving about 17,798 people. Confirm the utility on your water bill before acting on a specific finding.
Groundwater (primary source of record in EPA SDWIS).
Yes. In EPA's UCMR 5 testing (2024-07-16 to 2025-05-22), PFHxS was measured at 11.4 ng/L against a 10 ng/L federal limit. PFBA (14.9 ng/L) was also detected; it has no federal or state limit. Reverse osmosis and filters certified to NSF/ANSI 53 for PFOA/PFOS reduce them at the tap.
Anoka's most recent lead 90th-percentile result (2023–2025) was 2 µg/L, below the 15 µg/L action level. That figure comes from sampled homes; lead usually enters from a building's own pipes and fixtures, so only a test at your tap tells you what you drink.
PurityMap's current record for Anoka holds 31 findings: 2 above a reference, 1 detected within the reference, 1 detected with no limit and 27 not detected. Each finding links to its dated public record; a parameter that was never monitored is shown as pending, not as a pass.
