Perfluorooctanoic acid
10.6ng/L
Each block = 4.0 ng/L federal MCL (2024)
Short answer: Two PFAS, PFOA and PFOS, are above their federal limits (2024 limits that water systems have until at least 2029 to meet); 2 more are detected with no federal limit, and everything else measured is within its reference or not detected. Woodland Park Water Department serves 6,000 residents.
Your water bill or annual water quality report names your actual supplier.
Each bar is drawn in blocks of the 4.0 ng/L federal MCL (2024), so the length shows how far above it the result sits.

WOODLAND PARK WATER DEPARTMENT (EPA PWSID NJ1616001) delivers surface water to 6,000 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.
2health-based violations in the last 10 years
From EPA SDWIS. Counted once per contaminant per year, as in the Track record score. All 3 EPA filings are listed below.
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.
Every filing is listed; the Track record score counts at most one per contaminant per year.

PurityMap does not give a safe/unsafe verdict; it shows what the public records measured. For Woodland Park, PFOA 10.6 ng/L and PFOS 5.3 ng/L were measured above the 4 ng/L federal limit in EPA's 2024 testing. WOODLAND PARK WATER DEPARTMENT (PWSID NJ1616001) has a Purity Score of 53/100 (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.
WOODLAND PARK WATER DEPARTMENT (PWS ID NJ1616001) is the public water system on record for Woodland Park, New Jersey, serving about 6,000 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 (2024-02-14 to 2024-11-13), PFOA was measured at 10.6 ng/L against a 4 ng/L federal limit and PFOS was measured at 5.3 ng/L against a 4 ng/L federal limit. PFBS (3.1 ng/L, below the 2,000 ng/L EPA health advisory) and PFHxA (8.4 ng/L, below the 400,000 ng/L state limit) were also detected. PFBA (5.4 ng/L) and PFPeA (10.5 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 Woodland Park'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 Woodland Park holds 31 findings: 2 above a reference, 2 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.
