The short answer for Huntsville
Huntsville 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 Huntsville
- PFAS or other chemicals detected; no confirmed exceedances in multiple samples.
PFBA (a PFAS 'forever chemical') was detected below EPA limits. A certified filter can still add an extra layer of protection.
Here's what actually removes PFAS from your water
The right filter eliminates PFAS at the tap. But not all filters do - and the type you choose matters for your home.
Common pitchers like Brita do not remove PFAS. You need a filter independently certified to NSF P473 (for pitcher filters) or NSF/ANSI 58 (for reverse osmosis systems). All three options below carry the relevant certification.
No compounds above or close to EPA limits in available data.

Frequently Asked Questions about ZIP 65259 Tap Water
What's in ZIP 65259 tap water?
ZIP 65259 has 1 detected contaminant below EPA limits in this dataset. PFBA measured closest to its guideline.
Will boiling ZIP 65259 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 65259?
