Short answer: In the 2023–2025 records we hold for Roma, no listed result is above a legal limit, but 5 health-based violations are on record (EPA SDWIS). Also worth knowing: lithium sits above a screening level. 2 substances were detected and 29 were tested and not detected. The water is from City of Roma, serving 19,464 residents.

The treatment details are not on record.
Mains, then your building’s service line.
Plumbing inside the building is outside this record.
No measured result is above a legal limit; lithium sits above a screening level, and a past health-based violation (Chlorite) is on record.

CITY OF ROMA (EPA PWSID TX2140007) delivers surface water to 19,464 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.

The record describes water leaving treatment and samples across the system. Pipes, solder and fixtures inside a building can add lead the record can’t see, especially in older buildings with lead service lines.

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.
Screening: quick check, not lab-grade

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.

Lead service lines
City of Roma reported 10 lead service lines to replace in EPA’s inventory (2026Q2). Many utilities replace these lines for free or share the cost. Ask City of Roma whether your home’s line is on its list before you pay anyone.
Local help
Call to be connected with a local plumbing provider about lead service lines, repiping or fixture replacement.
Older buildings may have lead service lines, solder or fixtures. Roma’s utility reported 10 lead service lines in EPA’s inventory. Test first-draw water, then filter if needed.
1 of 29 PFAS tested was detected in Roma’s record (PFBA 7.2 ng/L). If PFAS matters to you, a filter certification names each compound it covers.
Most utilities keep chlorine or chloramine in the pipes. A carbon filter certified for taste and odor reduces either; your utility can tell you which it uses.
Your utility’s annual water quality report usually lists hardness; a test strip also measures it.
Reverse osmosis reduces many dissolved contaminants, including lead and minerals, at a single faucet, with some water sent to drain.

One email when a new sampling round is published, a result moves above or below its reference, or the system's score changes.PurityMap does not give a safe/unsafe verdict; it shows what the public records measured. For Roma, PFBA 7.2 ng/L was detected, with no federal or state limit; one health-based violation is on record (Chlorite). CITY OF ROMA (PWSID TX2140007) has a Purity Score of 86/100 (confidence: moderate), assessed at the water-system level and computed only from contaminants that were measured.

Methodology: how we analyze water. Prepared with AI assistance and reviewed by the PurityMap Editorial Team before publication.
EPA SDWIS, EPA UCMR 5 and utility reports, each dated and linked.
Units converted to one basis; a non-detect kept distinct from zero.
Each result tagged by reference type: MCL, action level, screening level or aesthetic.
Every value sits against its own reference, never a blended one.
Measured subjects summarised at the water-system level; an open health-based violation caps the score.
Treatment is matched to what was found; a product is called certified only when its current certification names it.
What the Purity Score means: a summary of this water system’s published record, capped while a health-based violation is open. It is not a test of any tap. CITY OF ROMA · PWSID TX2140007 · Purity Score 86/100 (Good) · Confidence: moderate · Assessed at the water-system level

Lead at City of Roma: not detected (90th percentile, 2025 monitoring period). Lead has no taste, so a taste neither shows nor rules it out.
