Perfluorooctanesulfonic acid
5.2ng/L
Each block = 4.0 ng/L federal MCL (2024)
Short answer: Two PFAS, PFHxS and PFOS, are above their federal limits (2024 limits that water systems have until at least 2029 to meet); lithium sits above a screening level. SJWTX Triple Peak Plant serves 32,973 residents.
Your water bill or annual water quality report names your actual supplier.
Each bar is drawn in blocks of its own limit, so the length shows how far above it the result sits.

SJWTX TRIPLE PEAK PLANT (EPA PWSID TX0460172) delivers surface water to 32,973 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.
1health-based violation in the last 10 years
From EPA SDWIS. Counted once per contaminant per year, as in the Track record score.
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.
Every filing is listed; the Track record score counts at most one per contaminant per year.

Plumbing inside a home can add lead that the system record can't show. A tap test tells you what reaches your glass.
PFOS 5.2 ng/L, above the 4 ng/L limit (+2 more PFAS detected)
lead 1.4 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.

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 Canyon Lake, PFOS 5.2 ng/L (limit 4 ng/L) and PFHxS 12.5 ng/L (limit 10 ng/L) were measured above their limits in EPA's 2024 testing; the lead 90th-percentile result was 1.4 µg/L against the 15 µg/L action level. SJWTX TRIPLE PEAK PLANT (PWSID TX0460172) has a Purity Score of 68/100 (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.
SJWTX TRIPLE PEAK PLANT (PWS ID TX0460172) is the public water system on record for Canyon Lake, Texas, serving about 32,973 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 (2024-01-23 to 2024-11-25), PFOS was measured at 5.2 ng/L against a 4 ng/L federal limit and PFHxS was measured at 12.5 ng/L against a 10 ng/L federal limit. PFBS (6.4 ng/L, below the 2,000 ng/L EPA health advisory) was also detected. Reverse osmosis and filters certified to NSF/ANSI 53 for PFOA/PFOS reduce them at the tap.
SJWTX TRIPLE PEAK PLANT's most recent lead 90th-percentile result (2023–2025) was 1.4 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 Canyon Lake holds 31 findings: 3 above a reference, 2 detected within the reference and 26 not detected. Each finding links to its dated public record; a parameter that was never monitored is shown as pending, not as a pass.
