Questions
Frequently asked questions
Is West Chester tap water safe to drink?
PurityMap does not give a safe/unsafe verdict; it shows what the public records measured. For West Chester, PFOA 5.9 ng/L was measured above the 4 ng/L federal limit in EPA's 2024 testing. AQUA PA WEST CHESTER (PWSID PA1150098) has a Purity Score of 68/100 (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 West Chester?
AQUA PA WEST CHESTER (PWS ID PA1150098) is the public water system on record for West Chester, Pennsylvania, serving about 48,600 people. Confirm the utility on your water bill before acting on a specific finding.
Where does West Chester get its drinking water?
Surface water (primary source of record in EPA SDWIS).
Are PFAS "forever chemicals" in West Chester's water?
Yes. In EPA's UCMR 5 testing (2024-01-25 to 2024-10-10), PFOA was measured at 5.9 ng/L against a 4 ng/L federal limit. PFBS (3.6 ng/L, below the 2,000 ng/L EPA health advisory) and PFHxA (7.2 ng/L, below the 400,000 ng/L state limit) were also detected. PFBA (5.7 ng/L) and PFPeA (7.4 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.
Is there lead in West Chester's tap water?
Lead is not in West Chester'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.
What does the latest West Chester water report show?
PurityMap's current record for West Chester holds 31 findings: 1 above a reference, 2 detected within the reference, 2 detected with no limit and 26 not detected. Each finding links to its dated public record; a parameter that was never monitored is shown as pending, not as a pass.
