The short answer for Blackwater

Blackwater tap water has 1 detected contaminant, currently below EPA limits (tested January 2025). PFBA measured closest to the threshold. See the full compound-by-compound report.

The health risk for Blackwater

PFAS traces were detected in local water tests, though levels are currently below EPA limits. Since no amount of PFAS is considered completely safe by health researchers, a certified filter adds a meaningful layer of protection, especially for children.
  • PFAS or other chemicals detected; no confirmed exceedances in multiple samples.

Frequently Asked Questions about ZIP 65322 Tap Water

What's in ZIP 65322 tap water?

ZIP 65322 has 1 detected contaminant below EPA limits in this dataset. PFBA measured closest to its guideline.

Will boiling ZIP 65322 tap water remove PFBA?

No. Boiling does not remove PFAS, and the compounds can actually become more concentrated as water evaporates. To reduce PFAS at home, use a filter independently certified to NSF/ANSI P473 (activated-carbon pitcher or under-sink) or NSF/ANSI 58 (reverse osmosis).

Do basic pitcher filters remove PFBA?

Most basic pitcher filters are only certified to NSF/ANSI 42 or 53, which do not cover PFAS. Look for a filter independently certified to NSF/ANSI P473 (activated-carbon pitcher or under-sink) or NSF/ANSI 58 (reverse osmosis) on the spec sheet.

Who provides tap water in ZIP 65322?
