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.

Frequently asked questions
Is Harrison tap water safe to drink?
PurityMap does not give a safe/unsafe verdict; it shows what the public records measured. For Harrison, PFBA 6.7 ng/L was detected, with no federal or state limit. HARRISON UTILITIES-FKA WAVERLY SD (PWSID WI4080076) 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 Harrison?
HARRISON UTILITIES-FKA WAVERLY SD (PWS ID WI4080076) is the public water system on record for Harrison, Wisconsin, serving about 5,500 people. Confirm the utility on your water bill before acting on a specific finding.
Where does Harrison get its drinking water?
Surface water (primary source of record in EPA SDWIS).
Are PFAS "forever chemicals" in Harrison's water?
Yes. In EPA's UCMR 5 testing (2025-02-17 to 2025-11-17), PFBA was detected at 6.7 ng/L. It has no federal or state limit, so PurityMap shows it without grading it. No PFAS with a limit was detected.
Is there lead in Harrison's tap water?
Lead is not in Harrison'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.
What does the latest Harrison water report show?
PurityMap's current record for Harrison holds 31 findings: 1 detected with no limit and 30 not detected. Each finding links to its dated public record; a parameter that was never monitored is shown as pending, not as a pass.

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.

Something off with your water's smell, color or taste?
Start with the hot-or-cold tap check. Where Harrison Utilities reported something related, it's shown below.
- Rotten-egg smell
- Cloudy or milky water
- Chlorine smell
- Brown or yellow water
- Metallic taste
Lead at Harrison Utilities: not detected (90th percentile, 2023 monitoring period). Lead has no taste, so a taste neither shows nor rules it out.
