PFOSPerfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS)Above EPA's 2024 limit (one sample) · Federal MCL4.0 ng/L federal MCL (2024)29.5ng/L▾
① · Measured
29.5 ng/L, sampled 2023-10-17 to 2024-05-06. EPA UCMR 5.
② · Compared
4.0 ng/L federal MCL (2024): a legal limit. That limit is judged on a yearly average, and water systems have until 2029 to meet it, so a single sample is not a violation. EPA health goal (MCLG): 0.
③ · Meaning
One EPA sample measured 29.5 ng/L, above the 4 ng/L limit EPA set in 2024. That limit is judged on a yearly average, and water systems have until 2029 to meet it, so a single sample is not a violation.
④ · Where it matters
Comes with the source water; home plumbing does not add it.
⑤ · What to do
Test your own tap first. To reduce it: Reverse osmosis, or carbon certified for PFAS (NSF/ANSI 53 or 58 (PFOA/PFOS)).

Ask your utility first
Find out if your building has a lead service line
Water utilities keep an inventory of service-line materials. Ask Wagoner Co. RWD #4 whether your address is on it before you replace pipes.
Your path: I live in an older buildingLead from plumbing is the main question
Older buildings may have lead service lines, solder or fixtures. Wagoner County Rwd’s record shows lead at 1 µg/L (15 µg/L federal action level). Test first-draw water, then filter if needed.
5 of 29 PFAS tested were detected in Wagoner County Rwd’s record (PFOS 29.5 ng/L, PFHxS 12.3 ng/L and PFBS 3.9 ng/L, and more); 2 above their limit. 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.
PurityMap does not give a safe/unsafe verdict; it shows what the public records measured. For Wagoner County Rwd, PFOS 29.5 ng/L (limit 4 ng/L) and PFHxS 12.3 ng/L (limit 10 ng/L) were measured in one EPA sample each, above the limits EPA set in 2024 (not a violation: the limits are judged on a yearly average, due 2029); the lead 90th-percentile result was 1 µg/L against the 15 µg/L action level. WAGONER CO. RWD #4 (PWSID OK1021529) has a Purity Score of 42/100 (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 →

Are PFAS "forever chemicals" in Wagoner County Rwd's water?+
Yes. In EPA's UCMR 5 testing (2023-10-17 to 2024-05-06), PFOS was measured at 29.5 ng/L in one EPA sample, above the 4 ng/L limit EPA set in 2024 and PFHxS was measured at 12.3 ng/L in one EPA sample, above the 10 ng/L limit EPA set in 2024. EPA's 2024 limits are judged on a yearly average, and water systems have until 2029 to meet them, so a single sample is not a violation. PFBS (3.9 ng/L, below the 2,000 ng/L EPA health advisory) and PFHxA (6.2 ng/L, below the 400,000 ng/L state limit) were also detected. PFPeA (6.4 ng/L) was also detected; it has no federal or state limit. Reverse osmosis and filters certified to NSF/ANSI 53 for PFOA/PFOS reduce them at the tap. What we found →
Is there lead in Wagoner County Rwd's tap water?+
WAGONER CO. RWD #4's most recent lead 90th-percentile result (2022–2024) was 1 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 →
