How this grade was calculated

This system received a grade of A because no PFAS compounds were detected above the EPA Minimum Reporting Level in any UCMR 5 sample.

Letter grade rubric
GradeCriteria
ANo PFAS detected above the Minimum Reporting Level
BPFAS detected, all below 50% of the EPA MCL
CWorst compound between 50% and 100% of EPA MCL
DAt least one compound exceeds the EPA MCL (up to 5×)
FAt least one compound exceeds 5× the EPA MCL

What WEST MORGAN-EAST LAWRENCE WATER AUTHORIT customers can do

WEST MORGAN-EAST LAWRENCE WATER AUTHORIT's water meets federal PFAS standards based on EPA UCMR 5 testing. To stay informed:

  • Read your utility's annual Consumer Confidence Report (CCR) — request a copy if you don't receive one.
  • Sign up for water quality alerts from your utility.
  • If you're on a private well, get it independently tested for PFAS.
  • Reduce PFAS exposure from non-water sources: avoid non-stick cookware, stain-resistant fabrics, and grease-resistant food packaging.
