Your household

Your tap can differ from the city record

The record describes water leaving treatment and samples across the system. Pipes, solder and fixtures inside a building can add lead the record can’t see, especially in older buildings with lead service lines.

Is this right for my home?

Choose your situation

Your situation
Your path: I live in an older buildingLead from plumbing is the main question

Older buildings may have lead service lines, solder or fixtures. Lead is not in Edgewood’s published record, so only a tap test tells you. Test first-draw water, then filter if needed.

Look forLead reduction: NSF/ANSI 53 (lead)
How to test your tap →
Your path: I care about PFASCheck what was tested

No PFAS result is in Edgewood’s published record. If PFAS matters to you, a filter certification names each compound it covers.

Look forNSF/ANSI 53 or 58, with each compound you care about named on the listing

Your path: My water tastes of chlorineThe disinfectant is not in this record

Most utilities keep chlorine or chloramine in the pipes. A carbon filter certified for taste and odor reduces either; your utility can tell you which it uses.

Look forNSF/ANSI 42 (chlorine taste and odor)

Your path: I have scale or hard waterHardness is not in this record

Your utility’s annual water quality report usually lists hardness; a test strip also measures it.

Look forSoftener: NSF/ANSI 44 (softeners)
Hard water explained →
Your path: I want the broadest reductionReverse osmosis at one tap

Reverse osmosis reduces many dissolved contaminants, including lead and minerals, at a single faucet, with some water sent to drain.

Look forNSF/ANSI 58

Methodology: how we analyze water. Prepared with AI assistance and reviewed by the PurityMap Editorial Team before publication.

Methodology

How PurityMap reads Edgewood’s water

  1. 01Source data

    EPA SDWIS, EPA UCMR 5 and utility reports, each dated and linked.

  2. 02Normalize

    Units converted to one basis; a non-detect kept distinct from zero.

  3. 03Classify

    Each result tagged by reference type: MCL, action level, screening level or aesthetic.

  4. 04Compare to the named reference

    Every value sits against its own reference, never a blended one.

  5. 05Score

    Measured subjects summarised at the water-system level; an open health-based violation caps the score.

  6. 06Match treatment

    Treatment is matched to what was found; a product is called certified only when its current certification names it.

What the Purity Score means: a summary of this water system’s published record, capped while a health-based violation is open. It is not a test of any tap. EDGEWOOD WATER DEPARTMENT · PWSID IN5248006 · Purity Score 100/100 (Excellent) · Confidence: low · Assessed at the water-system level
