LICKING REGIONAL WATER DISTRICT (EPA PWSID OH4505412) delivers groundwater to 17,818 residents. This report reflects 29 individual PFAS result(s) from the source UCMR5 observations and the latest Lead & Copper Rule 90th-percentile result. Water hardness and disinfectant type are pending the utility's own annual report.
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.
The records describe the system. A certified lab test shows what reaches your glass.
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
Silver Lake Research
Lead, bacteria, nitrate, copper, iron, chlorine, hardness and pH
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.
Lab-certified results
ETR Laboratories
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.

PurityMap does not give a safe/unsafe verdict; it shows what the public records measured. For Pataskala, no regulated PFAS were detected in EPA's 2024 testing. LICKING REGIONAL WATER DISTRICT (PWSID OH4505412) 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.
LICKING REGIONAL WATER DISTRICT (PWS ID OH4505412) is the public water system on record for Pataskala, Ohio, serving about 17,818 people. Confirm the utility on your water bill before acting on a specific finding.
Groundwater (primary source of record in EPA SDWIS).
None of the 29 PFAS in EPA's UCMR 5 testing (2024-08-14 to 2025-02-18) was detected. "Not detected" means below the lab's reporting limit, not proven zero.
Lead is not in Pataskala'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.
PurityMap's current record for Pataskala holds 31 findings: 31 not detected. Each finding links to its dated public record; a parameter that was never monitored is shown as pending, not as a pass.
