Is Sonterra Mud Tap Water Safe to Drink?

Short answer: In the 2022–2024 records we hold for Sonterra Mud, no listed result is above a legal limit, but a health-based violation is on record (EPA SDWIS). Also worth knowing: lithium sits above a screening level. 6 substances were detected and 25 were tested and not detected. The water is from Sonterra MUD, serving 16,614 residents.

Your tap can differ from the city record

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.

Ask your utility first

Find out if your building has a lead service line

Water utilities keep an inventory of service-line materials. Ask Sonterra MUD whether your address is on it before you replace pipes.

Local help

Think your plumbing may be adding lead?

Call to be connected with a local plumbing provider about lead service lines, repiping or fixture replacement.

Is this right for my home?

Choose your situation

Your situation
Your path: I live in an older buildingLead from plumbing is the main question

Older buildings may have lead service lines, solder or fixtures. Sonterra Mud’s record shows lead at 0.431 µg/L (15 µg/L federal action level). Test first-draw water, then filter if needed.

Look forLead reduction: NSF/ANSI 53 (lead)
How to test your tap →
Your path: I care about PFASCheck what was tested

4 of 29 PFAS tested were detected in Sonterra Mud’s record (PFBS 7 ng/L, PFHxA 6 ng/L and PFBA 6.9 ng/L, and more). If PFAS matters to you, a filter certification names each compound it covers.

Look forNSF/ANSI 53 or 58, with each compound you care about named on the listing

Your path: My water tastes of chlorineThe disinfectant is not in this record

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.

Look forNSF/ANSI 42 (chlorine taste and odor)

Your path: I have scale or hard waterHardness is not in this record

Your utility’s annual water quality report usually lists hardness; a test strip also measures it.

Your path: I want the broadest reductionReverse osmosis at one tap

Reverse osmosis reduces many dissolved contaminants, including lead and minerals, at a single faucet, with some water sent to drain.

Is Sonterra Mud tap water safe to drink?

PurityMap does not give a safe/unsafe verdict; it shows what the public records measured. For Sonterra Mud, PFAS were detected below their limits, and PFBA 6.9 ng/L and PFPeA 15.7 ng/L with no federal or state limit; the lead 90th-percentile result was 0.43 µg/L against the 15 µg/L action level; one health-based violation is on record (Fluoride). SONTERRA MUD (PWSID TX2460157) 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. What we found →

Who provides tap water in Sonterra Mud?

Are PFAS "forever chemicals" in Sonterra Mud's water?

In EPA's UCMR 5 testing (2024-04-23 to 2024-10-21), PFBS was detected at 7 ng/L, below the 2,000 ng/L EPA health advisory and PFHxA was detected at 6 ng/L, below the 400,000 ng/L state limit. PFBA (6.9 ng/L) and PFPeA (15.7 ng/L) were also detected; they have no federal or state limit. What we found →

Is there lead in Sonterra Mud's tap water?

SONTERRA MUD's most recent lead 90th-percentile result (2022–2024) was 0.43 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. Your household →

Has Sonterra Mud's water system had violations?

Methodology: how we analyze water. Prepared with AI assistance and reviewed by the PurityMap Editorial Team before publication.

Methodology

How PurityMap reads Sonterra Mud’s water

  1. 01Source data

    EPA SDWIS, EPA UCMR 5 and utility reports, each dated and linked.

  2. 02Normalize

    Units converted to one basis; a non-detect kept distinct from zero.

  3. 03Classify

    Each result tagged by reference type: MCL, action level, screening level or aesthetic.

  4. 04Compare to the named reference

    Every value sits against its own reference, never a blended one.

  5. 05Score

    Measured subjects summarised at the water-system level; an open health-based violation caps the score.

  6. 06Match treatment

    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. SONTERRA MUD · PWSID TX2460157 · Purity Score 98/100 (Excellent) · Confidence: moderate · Assessed at the water-system level
