EPA violations and monitoring

0health-based violations in the last 10 years · none open as of 2026-10-15

From EPA SDWIS. A clean violation history means no enforcement action was recorded; it does not cover contaminants without a limit. Meeting a federal limit is a compliance fact, not a health clearance.

    Safe Home DIY Lead in Drinking Water Combo Test Kit

    Lead, read as one of three ranges: 0–4, 5–15 or 15+ ppb

    Turnaround: 5 minutes

    What it can't tell you: It shows a lead range, not an exact level, and tests nothing else unless you pay extra for the optional lab test.
