Questions

Frequently asked questions

Is Mount Pleasant tap water safe to drink?

PurityMap does not give a safe/unsafe verdict; it shows what the public records measured. For Mount Pleasant, no regulated PFAS were detected in EPA's 2024 testing; the lead 90th-percentile result was 1.4 µg/L against the 15 µg/L action level. MOUNT PLEASANT (PWSID MI0004530) has a Purity Score of 97/100 (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 Mount Pleasant?

MOUNT PLEASANT (PWS ID MI0004530) is the public water system on record for Mount Pleasant, Michigan, serving about 21,688 people. Confirm the utility on your water bill before acting on a specific finding.

Where does Mount Pleasant get its drinking water?

Surface water (primary source of record in EPA SDWIS).

Are PFAS "forever chemicals" in Mount Pleasant's water?

None of the 29 PFAS in EPA's UCMR 5 testing (2025-03-03 to 2025-12-02) was detected. "Not detected" means below the lab's reporting limit, not proven zero.

Is there lead in Mount Pleasant's tap water?

MOUNT PLEASANT's most recent lead 90th-percentile result (2022–2024) was 1.4 µg/L, below the 15 µg/L action level. That figure comes from sampled homes; lead usually enters from a building's own pipes and fixtures, so only a test at your tap tells you what you drink.

What does the latest Mount Pleasant water report show?

PurityMap's current record for Mount Pleasant holds 31 findings: 1 above a reference, 1 detected within the reference and 29 not detected. Each finding links to its dated public record; a parameter that was never monitored is shown as pending, not as a pass.
