EPA-based study benchmark: a fixed, unrounded research cutoff used to reproduce EPA’s final UCMR 5 technical-assistance classification based on the April 2024 federal levels. It is not a current federal or state standard. The label does not determine compliance, household exposure, or health risk.
State rules: The labels on this page use fixed research cutoffs based on the April 2024 federal levels. Massachusetts may use different current standards or guidance. These UCMR 5 results do not determine current federal or state compliance. Find the official Massachusetts drinking-water program →

How the count works
What is included
Each active community water system with enough required samples for a yearly average is counted once, even if it is linked with several ZIP codes. Private wells are excluded, and UCMR 5 did not comprehensively monitor every small system.
