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.

    • 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.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Who does JACKSONVILLE CITY OF serve?

JACKSONVILLE CITY OF (PWS ID NC0467010) is a public water system serving 49,093 people in Jacksonville, North Carolina.

Where does JACKSONVILLE CITY OF get its water?

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

What does JACKSONVILLE CITY OF's monitoring record show?

PurityMap's record for JACKSONVILLE CITY OF 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 JACKSONVILLE CITY OF's water safe to drink?

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

The latest published record for JACKSONVILLE CITY OF 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 JACKSONVILLE CITY OF'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 JACKSONVILLE CITY OF?

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