A detection is a measurement, not a violation and not a health finding. EPA states that UCMR 5 results do not indicate compliance or non-compliance with any limit.
Health-based violations
1 open health-based violation(s) recorded in SDWIS and not yet returned to compliance.
- TT · contaminant code · began 2016-02-09
Hardness
Median hardness 6 mg/L as CaCO₃, measured at 7 stations serving this system across 57 results, 2015-07-16 to 2024-12-03. Measured in the water source and distribution area, not at a tap, and not in your home.
HEPHZIBAH
PWSID GA2450002 · GA · serves 6,941 people · service area inferred by a model, not supplied by the state
PFAS and lithium
Sampled, nothing detected. Tested for 30 compounds under UCMR 5 with none found at or above its reporting limit. A reporting limit is the lowest concentration the method can measure, so this means “below that” rather than “zero”.
Health-based violations
1 open health-based violation(s) recorded in SDWIS and not yet returned to compliance.
- MCL · contaminant code 3100 · began 2016-02-01
Hardness
No hardness measurement. Hardness is measured at environmental monitoring stations, and none fell inside this system’s service area. That is a gap in where monitoring happens, not a finding about the water.
What this report cannot tell you
Every figure describes water at a sampling point: a treatment plant, an entry point to the distribution system, or a monitoring station. None of it describes water arriving at your tap. Plumbing between the two can add lead and copper, and if your home was built before 1986 a test kit tells you something no federal dataset can.
