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.
Plumbing inside a home can add lead that the system record can't show. A tap test tells you what reaches your glass.

Screening: quick check, not lab-grade
Safe Home (EnviroTestKits)
Lead, read as one of three ranges: 0–4, 5–15 or 15+ ppb
What it can't tell you: It shows a lead range, not an exact level, and tests nothing else unless you pay extra for the optional lab test.
Lab-certified results
NUTLEY WATER DEPT (PWS ID NJ0716001) is a public water system serving 29,500 people in Nutley, New Jersey.
NUTLEY WATER DEPT is on record as drawing from surface water. The source shapes which contaminants matter most for this system.
PurityMap's record for NUTLEY WATER DEPT holds 2 findings: 1 detected within the reference and 1 not detected, from 2 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 NUTLEY WATER DEPT'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 NUTLEY WATER DEPT is dated 2026-10-15. 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 NUTLEY WATER DEPT'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.
Lead (90th percentile) was detected in this record. Each finding shows its measured value, its reference and its source on this page.
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.
