    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 recordMetals & lead and disinfection 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.

      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 North City Water District serve?

    North City Water District (PWS ID WA5339600) is a public water system serving 32,847 people in North City District, Washington.

    Where does North City Water District get its water?

    North City Water District is on record as drawing from surface water. The source shapes which contaminants matter most for this system.

    What does North City Water District's monitoring record show?

    PurityMap's record for North City Water District holds 30 findings: 30 not detected, from 30 evidence records. Every finding links to its source; a substance that was never monitored is shown as pending, not as a pass.

    Is North City Water District's water safe to drink?

    PurityMap does not issue a safety verdict. It publishes North City Water District'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 North City Water District data?

    The latest published record for North City Water District 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 North City Water District'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.
