    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.

    Screening tells you if something is worth a closer look; a lab result is the number you can act on.

    • Screening: quick check, not lab-grade

      Watersafe Drinking Water Test Kit

      Silver Lake Research

      Lead, bacteria, nitrate, copper, iron, chlorine, hardness and pH

      • Turnaround: Minutes; the bacteria test can take up to 48 hours

      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.

      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.

    Questions

    Frequently asked questions

    Is Newcastle tap water safe to drink?

    PurityMap does not give a safe/unsafe verdict; it shows what the public records measured. For Newcastle, no regulated PFAS were detected in EPA's 2024 testing. COAL CREEK UTILITY DISTRICT (PWSID WA5341750) has a Purity Score of 100/100 (confidence: low), 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 Newcastle?

    COAL CREEK UTILITY DISTRICT (PWS ID WA5341750) is the public water system on record for Newcastle, Washington, serving about 15,989 people. Confirm the utility on your water bill before acting on a specific finding.

    Where does Newcastle get its drinking water?

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

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

    None of the 29 PFAS in EPA's UCMR 5 testing (2024-01-23 to 2024-10-03) was detected. "Not detected" means below the lab's reporting limit, not proven zero.

    What does the latest Newcastle water report show?

    PurityMap's current record for Newcastle holds 30 findings: 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.
