Short answer: No measured result is above a legal limit; lithium sits above a screening level. Fort Bliss Main Post Area serves 28,000 residents.
Your water bill or annual water quality report names your actual supplier.
FORT BLISS MAIN POST AREA (EPA PWSID TX0710020) delivers groundwater to 28,000 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.
PFHxS 3.7 ng/L, below the 10 ng/L limit (+1 more PFAS detected)
Lithium 40.8 µg/L, above the 10.0 µg/L EPA health reference level
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
Silver Lake Research
Lead, bacteria, nitrate, copper, iron, chlorine, hardness and pH
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.
Lab-certified results
ETR Laboratories
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 Fort Bliss, PFAS were detected below their limits. FORT BLISS MAIN POST AREA (PWSID TX0710020) has a Purity Score of 94/100 (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.

Groundwater (primary source of record in EPA SDWIS).
In EPA's UCMR 5 testing (2024-01-29 to 2024-07-30), PFHxA was detected at 3.1 ng/L, below the 400,000 ng/L state limit and PFHxS was detected at 3.7 ng/L, below the 10 ng/L federal limit.
Lead is not in Fort Bliss'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 Fort Bliss holds 31 findings: 1 above a reference, 2 detected within the reference and 28 not detected. Each finding links to its dated public record; a parameter that was never monitored is shown as pending, not as a pass.
