Perfluorooctanoic acid
7.7ng/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); everything else measured is within its reference or not detected. Azusa Light and Water serves 110,044 residents.
Your water bill or annual water quality report names your actual supplier.
Each bar is drawn in blocks of the 4.0 ng/L federal MCL (2024), so the length shows how far above it the result sits.

AZUSA LIGHT AND WATER (EPA PWSID CA1910007) delivers surface water to 110,044 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 7.7 ng/L, above the 4 ng/L limit (+2 more PFAS detected)
Each card names which Azusa findings its current certification covers, and which it doesn't.
As an Amazon Associate, PurityMap earns from qualifying purchases. A product appears here only when a current certification record covers at least one identified concern; every concern stays listed.

PurityMap does not give a safe/unsafe verdict; it shows what the public records measured. For Azusa, PFOA 7.7 ng/L and PFOS 5.8 ng/L were measured above the 4 ng/L federal limit in EPA's 2024 testing. AZUSA LIGHT AND WATER (PWSID CA1910007) has a Purity Score of 59/100 (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.
AZUSA LIGHT AND WATER (PWS ID CA1910007) is the public water system on record for Azusa, California, serving about 110,044 people. Confirm the utility on your water bill before acting on a specific finding.
Surface water (primary source of record in EPA SDWIS).
Yes. In EPA's UCMR 5 testing (2023-12-14 to 2024-12-02), PFOA was measured at 7.7 ng/L against a 4 ng/L federal limit and PFOS was measured at 5.8 ng/L against a 4 ng/L federal limit. PFHxA (3.5 ng/L, below the 400,000 ng/L state limit) was also detected. Reverse osmosis and filters certified to NSF/ANSI 53 for PFOA/PFOS reduce them at the tap.
Lead is not in Azusa'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 Azusa holds 31 findings: 2 above a reference, 1 detected within the reference and 28 not detected. Each finding links to its dated public record; a parameter that was never monitored is shown as pending, not as a pass.
