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.

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.

    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 Massillon tap water safe to drink?

PurityMap does not give a safe/unsafe verdict; it shows what the public records measured. For Massillon, PFAS were detected below their limits, and PFPeA 3 ng/L with no federal or state limit. AQUA OHIO - MASSILLON PWS (PWSID OH7604512) 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 Massillon?

AQUA OHIO - MASSILLON PWS (PWS ID OH7604512) is the public water system on record for Massillon, Ohio, serving about 95,636 people. Confirm the utility on your water bill before acting on a specific finding.

Where does Massillon get its drinking water?

Groundwater (primary source of record in EPA SDWIS).

Are PFAS "forever chemicals" in Massillon's water?

In EPA's UCMR 5 testing (2023-03-06 to 2023-09-19), PFHxA was detected at 3.1 ng/L, below the 400,000 ng/L state limit. PFPeA (3 ng/L) was also detected; it has no federal or state limit.

Is there lead in Massillon's tap water?

Lead is not in Massillon'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 Massillon water report show?

PurityMap's current record for Massillon holds 31 findings: 1 above a reference, 1 detected within the reference, 1 detected with no limit 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.

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.
