Compliance

0health-based violations in the last 10 years

From EPA SDWIS. A clean violation history means no enforcement action was recorded; it does not cover contaminants without a limit.

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.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Who does ADRIAN serve?

ADRIAN (PWS ID MI0000040) is a public water system serving 23,663 people in Adrian, Michigan.

Where does ADRIAN get its water?

ADRIAN is on record as drawing from surface water. The source shapes which contaminants matter most for this system.

What does ADRIAN's monitoring record show?

PurityMap's record for ADRIAN holds 31 findings: 1 detected within the reference and 30 not detected, from 31 evidence records. Every finding links to its source; a substance that was never monitored is shown as pending, not as a pass.

Is ADRIAN's water safe to drink?

PurityMap does not issue a safety verdict. It publishes ADRIAN'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 ADRIAN data?

The latest published record for ADRIAN 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 ADRIAN'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 ADRIAN?

Lithium was detected in this record. Each finding shows its measured value, its reference and its source on this page.
