Perfluorooctanesulfonic acid
28ng/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 Clanton, the WW & SB of the serves 13,500 residents.

CLANTON, THE WW & SB OF THE CITY OF (EPA PWSID AL0000213) delivers surface water to 13,500 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.
PFOS 28 ng/L, above the 4 ng/L limit (+7 more PFAS detected)
Each card names which Clanton 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 Clanton, PFOS 28 ng/L and PFOA 26 ng/L were measured above the 4 ng/L federal limit in EPA's 2024 testing. CLANTON, THE WW & SB OF THE CITY OF (PWSID AL0000213) 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.
CLANTON, THE WW & SB OF THE CITY OF (PWS ID AL0000213) is the public water system on record for Clanton, Alabama, serving about 13,500 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 (2025-03-28 to 2025-11-26), PFOS was measured at 28 ng/L against a 4 ng/L federal limit and PFOA was measured at 26 ng/L against a 4 ng/L federal limit. PFBS (85 ng/L, below the 2,000 ng/L EPA health advisory), PFHxA (19 ng/L, below the 400,000 ng/L state limit) and PFHxS (3.3 ng/L, below the 10 ng/L federal limit) were also detected. PFBA (13 ng/L), PFHpA (6.8 ng/L) and PFPeA (31 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 Clanton'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 Clanton holds 31 findings: 2 above a reference, 3 detected within the reference, 3 detected with no limit and 23 not detected. Each finding links to its dated public record; a parameter that was never monitored is shown as pending, not as a pass.
