Perfluorooctanesulfonic acid
10.3ng/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. Conway City of (Sc2610008) serves 27,005 residents.

CONWAY CITY OF (SC2610008) (EPA PWSID SC2610008) delivers surface water to 27,005 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.
PFOS 10.3 ng/L, above the 4 ng/L limit (+6 more PFAS detected)
lead 2.5 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 Conway, PFOS 10.3 ng/L and PFOA 9.2 ng/L were measured above the 4 ng/L federal limit in EPA's 2024 testing; the lead 90th-percentile result was 2.5 µg/L against the 15 µg/L action level. CONWAY CITY OF (SC2610008) (PWSID SC2610008) has a Purity Score of 54/100 (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.
CONWAY CITY OF (SC2610008) (PWS ID SC2610008) is the public water system on record for Conway, South Carolina, serving about 27,005 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 (2023-04-10 to 2026-03-12), PFOS was measured at 10.3 ng/L against a 4 ng/L federal limit and PFOA was measured at 9.2 ng/L against a 4 ng/L federal limit. PFBS (5 ng/L, below the 2,000 ng/L EPA health advisory) and PFHxA (5.9 ng/L, below the 400,000 ng/L state limit) were also detected. PFBA (6.8 ng/L), PFHpA (4.4 ng/L) and PFPeA (8.8 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.
CONWAY CITY OF (SC2610008)'s most recent lead 90th-percentile result (2024–2026) was 2.5 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 Conway 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.
