Worthington serves 14,052 people from surface water. 32 results are on record. Copper (90th percentile) is above its federal limit; lithium sits above a screening level.
The bar is drawn in blocks of the 1.3 mg/L federal action level, so the length shows how far above it the result sits.

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.
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.
The records describe the system. A certified lab test shows what reaches your glass.
Copper (90th percentile) 1.91 mg/L, above the 1.3 mg/L federal action level; Lithium 53.4 µg/L, above the 10.0 µg/L EPA health reference level

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

Screening: quick check, not lab-grade
Silver Lake Research
Lead, bacteria, nitrate, copper, iron, chlorine, hardness and pH
What it can't tell you: Each test gives a yes/no or a rough range, not a lab number, and it cannot detect PFAS or arsenic.
Lab-certified results
ETR Laboratories
50+ substances, including lead, copper, arsenic, nitrate, hardness and coliform bacteria
What it can't tell you: It does not test PFAS, and not every result on the panel falls under the lab's accredited scope.

Worthington (PWS ID MN1530011) is a public water system serving 14,052 people in Worthington, Minnesota.
Worthington is on record as drawing from surface water. The source shapes which contaminants matter most for this system.
PurityMap's record for Worthington holds 32 findings: 2 above a 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.
PurityMap does not issue a safety verdict. It publishes Worthington'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.
The latest published record for Worthington is dated 2026-09-16. Utilities report on regulatory cycles, so results reflect the monitoring period rather than a live reading.
No. It is assessed at the water-system level from Worthington'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.
Lithium and Copper (90th percentile) were detected in this record. Each finding shows its measured value, its reference and its source on this page.
