ANNUAL WATER QUALITY REPORTS
UNREGULATED CONTAMINANT MONITORING RULE (UCMR)
The Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) requires that once every five years the EPA issue a list of unregulated contaminants to be monitored by public water systems (PWSs).
UCMR 5 requires monitoring by certain PWSs for 29 per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and lithium in drinking water between 2023 and 2025. All community water systems (CWSs) and non-transient non-community water systems (NTNCWSs) serving 3,300 or more people and a nationally representative sample of those serving fewer than 3,300 people are required to monitor during a single 12-month timeframe in the three years of monitoring.
UCMR 5 data released to date include results received as of July 10, 2025, and represent approximately 83% of the total results that the EPA expects to receive by completion of data reporting in 2026. Data are added and possibly removed or updated over the course of this reporting cycle following further review by analytical laboratories, PWSs, states, and the EPA. Data can be found here.
