The ZIP codes associated with Rpuma have a median household income of $48,027 and about 8,996 residents live in those ZIP codes (Census; not the number of people this system supplies). Approximately 61% of housing stock was built before 1986, which increases the likelihood of lead service lines and older plumbing.

Environmental Justice Note: On average, 94% of census tracts in the counties mapped to this service area are designated disadvantaged by the federal Climate and Economic Justice Screening Tool (CEJST, 2022 version). Communities with higher disadvantaged populations often face disproportionate environmental and health burdens, including aging water infrastructure and limited resources for remediation.

๐Ÿ’ง Where Does Your Water Come From?

Groundwater

Rpuma's water is classified in EPA records as a groundwater source. Groundwater is naturally filtered through rock and soil, but it can be vulnerable to PFAS contamination, nitrates from agriculture, and industrial chemicals that seep into the water table.

Health Risk Details

Total Trihalomethanes (TTHM) (EPA limit: 0.08 mg/L)

Long-term exposure is associated with increased cancer risk, including bladder cancer; possible reproductive effects At-risk groups: pregnant women, long-term consumers of chlorinated water.

Treatment options (verify a product is certified to reduce this contaminant): granular activated carbon (GAC), carbon block filter, point-of-entry aeration. Find the right filter โ†’

Haloacetic Acids (HAA5) (EPA limit: 0.06 mg/L)

Increased risk of cancer

Treatment options (verify a product is certified to reduce this contaminant): granular activated carbon (GAC), carbon block filter, reverse osmosis. Find the right filter โ†’

Lead & Copper

EPA Lead and Copper Rule evidence attributed directly to this water system:

Lead Level Exceeds Action Level Sample Date
0.001 mg/L No 2024-12-01

No copper action-level exceedance record appears for this PWSID in the accepted LCR snapshot. This does not establish a clean copper measurement.

Radon Risk in Service Area

2 of 2 ZIP records with known zones are in EPA Radon Zone 3.

The EPA recommends testing all homes regardless of radon zone. County radon zones cannot replace an in-home radon test.

The most recent 90th-percentile lead result on record is 0.001 mg/L (sample period ending 2024-12-01). This is at or below the EPA lead action level, which triggers system action and is not a safe level; the EPA health goal for lead is zero.
What is the demographic profile of the ZIP codes associated with Rpuma? ▼
The ZIP codes mapped to Rpuma have a median household income of $48,027 (Census ZIP-code estimate). In CEJST data, 94% of census tracts in the counties mapped to this area are designated disadvantaged (average across mapped ZIP codes), which may indicate greater vulnerability to environmental health risks.
Where does Rpuma get its water? ▼
Rpuma's water is classified in EPA records as a groundwater source.
