This profile is built from EPA public records for system TX0460001 — SDWIS violations and UCMR5 PFAS sampling. The score is system-level and can’t account for your home’s plumbing (older pipes can add lead at the tap). For health decisions, check your exact address, read the utility’s Consumer Confidence Report, and confirm with your provider.
