Screening tells you if something is worth a closer look; a lab result is the number you can act on.

  • Screening: quick check, not lab-grade

    • Turnaround: Minutes; the bacteria test can take up to 48 hours

    What it can't tell you: Each test gives a yes/no or a rough range, not a lab number, and it cannot detect PFAS or arsenic.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Is East Stroudsburg tap water safe to drink?

PurityMap does not give a safe/unsafe verdict; it shows what the public records measured. For East Stroudsburg, no regulated PFAS were detected in EPA's 2024 testing. E STROUDSBURG BORO WATER DEPT (PWSID PA2450023) has a Purity Score of 91/100 (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.

Who provides tap water in East Stroudsburg?

E STROUDSBURG BORO WATER DEPT (PWS ID PA2450023) is the public water system on record for East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania, serving about 13,000 people. Confirm the utility on your water bill before acting on a specific finding.

Where does East Stroudsburg get its drinking water?

Surface water (primary source of record in EPA SDWIS).

Are PFAS "forever chemicals" in East Stroudsburg's water?

None of the 29 PFAS in EPA's UCMR 5 testing (2024-06-13 to 2025-03-18) was detected. "Not detected" means below the lab's reporting limit, not proven zero.

Is there lead in East Stroudsburg's tap water?

Every value is the published result from the cited public record. A reporting limit is the lowest level the method could reliably quantify; a non-detect is not a guarantee of zero.
