    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.

    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

      Watersafe Drinking Water Test Kit

      Silver Lake Research

      • Turnaround: Minutes; the bacteria test can take up to 48 hours

      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.

      • Turnaround: 2–4 business days after the lab receives it

      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.

    Questions

    Frequently asked questions

    Who does CITY OF SOUTHAVEN serve?

    CITY OF SOUTHAVEN (PWS ID MS0170018) is a public water system serving 56,000 people in Southaven, Mississippi.

    Where does CITY OF SOUTHAVEN get its water?

    CITY OF SOUTHAVEN is on record as drawing from groundwater. The source shapes which contaminants matter most for this system.

    What does CITY OF SOUTHAVEN's monitoring record show?

    PurityMap's record for CITY OF SOUTHAVEN holds 31 findings: 31 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 CITY OF SOUTHAVEN's water safe to drink?

    PurityMap does not issue a safety verdict. It publishes CITY OF SOUTHAVEN'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 CITY OF SOUTHAVEN data?

    The latest published record for CITY OF SOUTHAVEN is dated 2026-09-16. 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 CITY OF SOUTHAVEN'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.
