Perfluorooctanoic acid
5.6ng/L
Each block = 4.0 ng/L federal MCL (2024)
Short answer: PFOA is above its federal limit (a 2024 limit that water systems have until at least 2029 to meet); lithium sits above a screening level, and a past health-based violation (Nitrate) is on record. Peoria City of serves 187,676 residents.

PEORIA CITY OF (EPA PWSID AZ0407096) delivers surface water to 187,676 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.
1health-based violation in the last 10 years
From EPA SDWIS. Counted once per contaminant per year, as in the Track record score.
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.
Every filing is listed; the Track record score counts at most one per contaminant per year.

Plumbing inside a home can add lead that the system record can't show. A tap test tells you what reaches your glass.
PFOA 5.6 ng/L, above the 4 ng/L limit (+2 more PFAS detected)

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

Lead, read as one of three ranges: 0–4, 5–15 or 15+ ppb
What it can't tell you: It shows a lead range, not an exact level, and tests nothing else unless you pay extra for the optional lab test.

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 Peoria, PFOA 5.6 ng/L was measured above the 4 ng/L federal limit in EPA's 2024 testing; one health-based violation is on record (Nitrate). PEORIA CITY OF (PWSID AZ0407096) has a Purity Score of 69/100 (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.
PEORIA CITY OF (PWS ID AZ0407096) is the public water system on record for Peoria, Arizona, serving about 187,676 people. Confirm the utility on your water bill before acting on a specific finding.
Surface water (primary source of record in EPA SDWIS).
Yes. In EPA's UCMR 5 testing (2024-11-20 to 2025-12-08), PFOA was measured at 5.6 ng/L against a 4 ng/L federal limit. PFBS (14.8 ng/L, below the 2,000 ng/L EPA health advisory) and PFHxS (3.7 ng/L, below the 10 ng/L federal limit) were also detected. Reverse osmosis and filters certified to NSF/ANSI 53 for PFOA/PFOS reduce them at the tap.
Lead is not in Peoria'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.
The federal SDWIS record lists a health-based violation for PEORIA CITY OF within about the last ten years: Nitrate (2016). The findings above show each one's status.
PurityMap's current record for Peoria holds 32 findings: 3 above a reference, 2 detected within the reference and 27 not detected. Each finding links to its dated public record; a parameter that was never monitored is shown as pending, not as a pass.
