Perfluorooctanesulfonic acid
9.8ng/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); lithium sits above a screening level. Gilbert, Town of serves 247,600 residents.

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 Gilbert, PFOS 9.8 ng/L and PFOA 6.5 ng/L were measured above the 4 ng/L federal limit in EPA's 2024 testing. GILBERT, TOWN OF (PWSID AZ0407092) has a Purity Score of 55/100 (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.
GILBERT, TOWN OF (PWS ID AZ0407092) is the public water system on record for Gilbert, Arizona, serving about 247,600 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 (2023-11-07 to 2024-11-05), PFOS was measured at 9.8 ng/L against a 4 ng/L federal limit and PFOA was measured at 6.5 ng/L against a 4 ng/L federal limit. PFBS (18.1 ng/L, below the 2,000 ng/L EPA health advisory) and PFHxA (4.4 ng/L, below the 400,000 ng/L state limit) were also detected. PFBA (5.8 ng/L) and PFPeA (6.2 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.
Lead is not in Gilbert'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 Gilbert holds 31 findings: 3 above a reference, 2 detected within the reference, 2 detected with no limit and 24 not detected. Each finding links to its dated public record; a parameter that was never monitored is shown as pending, not as a pass.
