    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.

    Questions

    Frequently asked questions

    Who does MOUNTLAKE TERRACE CITY OF serve?

    MOUNTLAKE TERRACE CITY OF (PWS ID WA5357250) is a public water system serving 26,402 people in Mountlake Terrace, Washington.

    Where does MOUNTLAKE TERRACE CITY OF get its water?

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

    What does MOUNTLAKE TERRACE CITY OF's monitoring record show?

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

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

    The latest published record for MOUNTLAKE TERRACE 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 MOUNTLAKE TERRACE 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 it can't tell you: It does not test PFAS, and not every result on the panel falls under the lab's accredited scope.
