Perfluorooctanesulfonic acid
13.4ng/L
Each block = 4.0 ng/L federal MCL (2024)
Short answer: Three PFAS, PFHxS, PFOA and PFOS, are above their federal limits (2024 limits that water systems have until at least 2029 to meet); 3 more are detected with no federal limit, and everything else measured is within its reference or not detected. Cal Am serves 54,893 residents.

CAL AM - SUBURBAN ROSEMONT (EPA PWSID CA3410010) delivers surface water to 54,893 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.
A tap test can confirm levels at your home before you choose treatment.
PFOS 13.4 ng/L, above the 4 ng/L limit (+6 more PFAS detected)
Each card names which Rosemont findings its current certification covers, and which it doesn't.

PurityMap does not give a safe/unsafe verdict; it shows what the public records measured. For Rosemont, PFOS 13.4 ng/L (limit 4 ng/L), PFOA 8.2 ng/L (limit 4 ng/L) and PFHxS 10.9 ng/L (limit 10 ng/L) were measured above their limits in EPA's 2024 testing. CAL AM - SUBURBAN ROSEMONT (PWSID CA3410010) has a Purity Score of 57/100 (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.
CAL AM - SUBURBAN ROSEMONT (PWS ID CA3410010) is the public water system on record for Rosemont, California, serving about 54,893 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 (2023-03-13 to 2024-11-12), PFOS was measured at 13.4 ng/L against a 4 ng/L federal limit, PFOA was measured at 8.2 ng/L against a 4 ng/L federal limit and PFHxS was measured at 10.9 ng/L against a 10 ng/L federal limit. PFHxA (5.4 ng/L, below the 400,000 ng/L state limit) was also detected. PFBA (9 ng/L), PFHpA (4.7 ng/L) and PFPeA (7.7 ng/L) were also detected; they have no federal or state limit. Reverse osmosis and filters certified to NSF/ANSI 53 for PFOA/PFOS reduce them at the tap.
Lead is not in Rosemont'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 Rosemont holds 31 findings: 3 above a reference, 1 detected within the reference, 3 detected with no limit and 24 not detected. Each finding links to its dated public record; a parameter that was never monitored is shown as pending, not as a pass.
