PFAS Drinking-Water Monitoring Results in Hawaii

This page summarizes EPA Fifth Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Rule (UCMR 5, 2023–2025) drinking-water monitoring records linked to ZIP codes in Hawaii, as processed for the PFAS Estimator national dataset. Data updated: July 2026.

16.7% of Hawaii ZIP codes in this dataset (30 total)
had at least one regulated PFAS compound detected at or above its applicable EPA threshold (5 of 30 ZIP codes). Of those, 5 (100.0%) had more than one compound at or above threshold. This dataset includes only ZIP codes with at least one recorded PFAS detection; ZIP codes where all compounds returned non-detect are not represented.

Methodology & limitations

Results are based on EPA UCMR 5 monitoring data (2023–2025), linked to ZIP codes via Public Water System Identifier. Non-detections are not present in this analytic dataset. For each compound and ZIP code, the highest observed concentration across the monitoring period is retained; this characterizes the upper bound of observed drinking-water concentrations, not a long-term average or an individual exposure estimate. A single water system may serve multiple ZIP codes, so the same monitoring record can appear for more than one ZIP in this table. ZIP-code assignment reflects water-system service area geography and does not establish individual household exposure. Private wells are not represented unless served by a monitored public water system. PFOA and PFOS are reported by detection prevalence because the UCMR 5 reporting limit equals their federal MCL. A full PFBS Hazard Index is not calculated because co-located, same-event multi-compound readings are not retained in this dataset. Lithium has no federal Maximum Contaminant Level; 7.36 µg/L is an evidence-based reference concentration from a prospective cohort study, not a regulatory threshold.
