Track record

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.

Not in this recordDisinfection by-products weren't monitored in this dataset

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.

Test your own tap

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

    Watersafe Drinking Water Test Kit

    Silver Lake Research

    Lead, bacteria, nitrate, copper, iron, chlorine, hardness and pH

    • 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.

    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.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Is Gardnerville Ranchos tap water safe to drink?

PurityMap does not give a safe/unsafe verdict; it shows what the public records measured. For Gardnerville Ranchos, no regulated PFAS were detected in EPA's 2024 testing. GARDNERVILLE RANCHOS GID (PWSID NV0000066) has a Purity Score of 100/100 (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 Gardnerville Ranchos?

GARDNERVILLE RANCHOS GID (PWS ID NV0000066) is the public water system on record for Gardnerville Ranchos, Nevada, serving about 11,300 people. Confirm the utility on your water bill before acting on a specific finding.

Where does Gardnerville Ranchos get its drinking water?

Groundwater (primary source of record in EPA SDWIS).

Are PFAS "forever chemicals" in Gardnerville Ranchos's water?

None of the 29 PFAS in EPA's UCMR 5 testing (2025-02-25 to 2025-08-25) was detected. "Not detected" means below the lab's reporting limit, not proven zero.

Is there lead in Gardnerville Ranchos's tap water?
