About EnviroClarity
Our Mission
EnviroClarity exists to make public water quality data accessible, understandable, and actionable for everyone. We believe that knowing what's in your tap water shouldn't require a chemistry degree or hours of searching through government databases.
What We Do
We aggregate water quality data from the EPA Water Quality Portal, the UCMR (Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Rule) program, and local utility disclosures, then present it in clear, ZIP-code-level reports. Each report shows:
- Which contaminants have been detected in your area's water supply
- How measured levels compare to EPA health guidelines
- Which specific water systems serve your ZIP code
- Practical steps you can take if contaminants exceed recommended levels
Our Data Sources
All data displayed on EnviroClarity comes from publicly available government records:
- EPA Water Quality Portal (WQP) — the primary federal repository for water quality monitoring data across the United States
- UCMR5 — the EPA's Fifth Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Rule, which requires public water systems to test for contaminants that don't yet have drinking water standards
- Local utility disclosures — Consumer Confidence Reports and public test results shared by individual water utilities
We do not generate, modify, or editorialize the underlying data. Our role is to organize and present it in a way that's easy to understand.
Why It Matters
Emerging contaminants like PFAS ("forever chemicals") are increasingly found in drinking water supplies across the country. While the EPA continues to develop enforceable standards, many communities are left without easy access to their own water quality information. EnviroClarity bridges that gap.
