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.

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 Round Rock tap water safe to drink?

PurityMap does not give a safe/unsafe verdict; it shows what the public records measured. For Round Rock, PFAS were detected below their limits, and PFBA 5.1 ng/L and PFPeA 6.7 ng/L with no federal or state limit; the lead 90th-percentile result was 5.05 µg/L against the 15 µg/L action level. CITY OF ROUND ROCK (PWSID TX2460003) has a Purity Score of 94/100 (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 Round Rock?

CITY OF ROUND ROCK (PWS ID TX2460003) is the public water system on record for Round Rock, Texas, serving about 130,662 people. Confirm the utility on your water bill before acting on a specific finding.

Where does Round Rock get its drinking water?

Surface water (primary source of record in EPA SDWIS).

Are PFAS "forever chemicals" in Round Rock's water?

In EPA's UCMR 5 testing (2024-10-23 to 2025-07-14), PFBS was detected at 6.7 ng/L, below the 2,000 ng/L EPA health advisory and PFHxA was detected at 3.7 ng/L, below the 400,000 ng/L state limit. PFBA (5.1 ng/L) and PFPeA (6.7 ng/L) were also detected; they have no federal or state limit.

Is there lead in Round Rock's tap water?

CITY OF ROUND ROCK's most recent lead 90th-percentile result (2021–2023) was 5.05 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 Round Rock water report show?

PurityMap's current record for Round Rock holds 31 findings: 1 above a reference, 3 detected within the reference, 2 detected with no limit and 25 not detected. Each finding links to its dated public record; a parameter that was never monitored is shown as pending, not as a pass.
