State system profile

PFAS in Puerto Rico drinking water

Active community water systems with complete EPA UCMR 5 monitoring, summarized using yearly averages from results available through January 15, 2026.

Source EPA UCMR 5 Period 2023–2025 Systems included 87 Release ucmr5-2026-01-15-analysis-v0.2
Systems reaching a study comparison level
16.1%14 of 87 active community water systems with complete monitoring

All 87 systems had complete monitoring. 14 reached at least one study comparison level; 73 did not. “Study comparison level” means the dated EPA technical cutoff used in this January 2026 research release. It does not determine household exposure, health risk, or current legal compliance.

What is included

Each active community water system with complete monitoring 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. This page does not apply Puerto Rico's state-specific standards or determine compliance. Use the official state or territory drinking-water program for current regulatory information.
