For the latest quarter assessed by the U.S. EPA (January 2021 - March 2021), tap water provided by this water utility was in compliance with federal health-based drinking water standards. UTILITY DETAILS * Spokane, Washington * Serves: 227,509 * Data available: 2014-2019 * Source: Groundwater CONTAMINANTS DETECTED 10 EXCEED EWG HEALTH GUIDELINES 20 Total Contaminants * Legal does not necessarily equal safe. Getting a passing grade from the federal government does not mean the water meets the latest health guidelines. * Legal limits for contaminants in tap water have not been updated in almost 20 years. * The best way to ensure clean tap water is to keep pollution out of source water in the first place. WHAT TO DO Filter contaminants out Contact Your Local Official What About Lead? LEGAL ≠ SAFE EWG HEALTH GUIDELINES FILL THE GAP IN OUTDATED GOVERNMENT STANDARDS. The federal government’s legal limits are not health-protective. The EPA has not set a new tap water standard in almost 20 years, and some standards are more than 40 years old.
