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.

Test your own tap

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

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Is Plymouth tap water safe to drink?

PurityMap does not give a safe/unsafe verdict; it shows what the public records measured. For Plymouth, PFBA 19.1 ng/L was detected, with no federal or state limit; the lead 90th-percentile result was 2 µg/L against the 15 µg/L action level. Plymouth (PWSID MN1270044) has a Purity Score of 98/100 (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 Plymouth?

Plymouth (PWS ID MN1270044) is the public water system on record for Plymouth, Minnesota, serving about 76,546 people. Confirm the utility on your water bill before acting on a specific finding.

Where does Plymouth get its drinking water?

Groundwater (primary source of record in EPA SDWIS).

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

Yes. In EPA's UCMR 5 testing (2023-05-25 to 2023-12-11), PFBA was detected at 19.1 ng/L. It has no federal or state limit, so PurityMap shows it without grading it. No PFAS with a limit was detected.

Is there lead in Plymouth's tap water?

Plymouth's most recent lead 90th-percentile result (2022–2024) was 2 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 Plymouth water report show?

PurityMap's current record for Plymouth holds 31 findings: 1 above a reference, 1 detected within the reference, 1 detected with no limit and 28 not detected. Each finding links to its dated public record; a parameter that was never monitored is shown as pending, not as a pass.

Every value is the published result from the cited public record. A reporting limit is the lowest level the method could reliably quantify; a non-detect is not a guarantee of zero.
