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 CITY OF LAKE JACKSON serve?

CITY OF LAKE JACKSON (PWS ID TX0200006) is a public water system serving 27,314 people in Lake Jackson, Texas.

Where does CITY OF LAKE JACKSON get its water?

CITY OF LAKE JACKSON is on record as drawing from surface water. The source shapes which contaminants matter most for this system.

What does CITY OF LAKE JACKSON's monitoring record show?

PurityMap's record for CITY OF LAKE JACKSON holds 32 findings: 2 above a reference, 1 detected within the reference, 2 detected with no limit and 27 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.

Is CITY OF LAKE JACKSON's water safe to drink?

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

The latest published record for CITY OF LAKE JACKSON 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 LAKE JACKSON'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 CITY OF LAKE JACKSON?

Lithium, Copper (90th percentile), Perfluorohexanoic acid (PFHxA), Perfluorobutanoic acid (PFBA) and Perfluoropentanoic acid (PFPeA) were detected in this record. Each finding shows its measured value, its reference and its source on this page.

What should I do if I'm concerned about PFAS in CITY OF LAKE JACKSON's water?

Start with what the record shows: the PFAS 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 PFAS compounds in your record; the section "Certified for a concern found here" lists only products with a current certification record for these concerns.
