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.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Is Monett tap water safe to drink?

PurityMap does not give a safe/unsafe verdict; it shows what the public records measured. For Monett, PFAS were detected below the federal limits. MONETT PWS (PWSID MO5010537) has a Purity Score of 87/100 (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 Monett?

MONETT PWS (PWS ID MO5010537) is the public water system on record for Monett, Missouri, serving about 9,789 people. Confirm the utility on your water bill before acting on a specific finding.

Where does Monett get its drinking water?

Groundwater (primary source of record in EPA SDWIS).

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

In EPA's UCMR 5 testing (2025-01-13 to 2025-07-14), PFHxS was detected at 7.7 ng/L, below the 10 ng/L federal limit.

Is there lead in Monett's tap water?

Lead is not in Monett'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 Monett water report show?

PurityMap's current record for Monett holds 31 findings: 1 detected within the reference 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.
