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 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 KIRKLAND CITY OF serve?

KIRKLAND CITY OF (PWS ID WA5342250) is a public water system serving 69,243 people in Kirkland, Washington.

Where does KIRKLAND CITY OF get its water?

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

What does KIRKLAND CITY OF's monitoring record show?

PurityMap's record for KIRKLAND CITY OF holds 33 findings: 3 detected within the reference and 30 not detected, from 33 evidence records. Every finding links to its source; a substance that was never monitored is shown as pending, not as a pass.

Is KIRKLAND CITY OF's water safe to drink?

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

The latest published record for KIRKLAND CITY OF is dated 2026-10-15. 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 KIRKLAND 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 KIRKLAND CITY OF?

Haloacetic acids (HAA5), Total trihalomethanes (TTHM) and Water hardness were detected in this record. Each finding shows its measured value, its reference and its source on this page.
