Compliance

1health-based violation in the last 10 years

From EPA SDWIS. Counted once per contaminant per year, as in the Track record score.

Not in this recordDisinfection by-products weren't monitored in this dataset

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.

A federal limit (an MCL or action level) is an enforceable legal cap; a health goal is often stricter. Meeting the limit is a compliance fact, not a health clearance, and PurityMap publishes no overall compliance verdict.

Screening tells you if something is worth a closer look; a lab result is the number you can act on.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Who does STONEHAM WATER DEPT (MWRA SUPPLY) serve?

STONEHAM WATER DEPT (MWRA SUPPLY) (PWS ID MA3284000) is a public water system serving 23,244 people in Stoneham (mwra Supply), Massachusetts.

Where does STONEHAM WATER DEPT (MWRA SUPPLY) get its water?

STONEHAM WATER DEPT (MWRA SUPPLY) is on record as drawing from surface water. The source shapes which contaminants matter most for this system.

What does STONEHAM WATER DEPT (MWRA SUPPLY)'s monitoring record show?

PurityMap's record for STONEHAM WATER DEPT (MWRA SUPPLY) holds 32 findings: 1 above a reference, 1 detected within the reference and 30 not detected, from 32 evidence records. Every finding links to its source; a substance that was never monitored is shown as pending, not as a pass.

Is STONEHAM WATER DEPT (MWRA SUPPLY)'s water safe to drink?

PurityMap does not issue a safety verdict. It publishes STONEHAM WATER DEPT (MWRA SUPPLY)'s measured results against each contaminant's benchmark so you can read them in context. Safety depends on the specific finding, your plumbing, and how the water reaches your tap.

How current is this STONEHAM WATER DEPT (MWRA SUPPLY) data?

The latest published record for STONEHAM WATER DEPT (MWRA SUPPLY) is dated 2026-10-15. Utilities report on regulatory cycles, so results reflect the monitoring period rather than a live reading.

Does this assessment represent my home's tap water?

No. It is assessed at the water-system level from STONEHAM WATER DEPT (MWRA SUPPLY)'s own monitoring. It does not cover the service line to your building or the plumbing inside it, which can add lead and other metals after the water leaves the system. A tap test is the way to know what reaches your glass.

What contaminants were detected in STONEHAM WATER DEPT (MWRA SUPPLY)?

E. coli and Lead (90th percentile) were detected in this record. Each finding shows its measured value, its reference and its source on this page.

What should I do if I'm concerned about lead in STONEHAM WATER DEPT (MWRA SUPPLY)'s water?

Start with what the record shows: the lead findings above list each measured value against its reference. This record cannot show your home's plumbing, so a tap test tells you what reaches your glass. If you decide to treat your water, look for a filter whose certification covers the specific contaminant in your record; the section "Certified for a concern found here" lists only products with a current certification record for these concerns.
