COMMON QUESTIONS
Is Irving tap water safe to drink?

Irving water meets EPA legal standards but meeting standards is not the same as being free of contaminants. EPA limits are set based on feasibility, not always on what is safest for health. Enter your ZIP above to see the full violation history and PFAS data for your specific water system.

Do I need a water filter?

Even compliant water can contain contaminants at levels above what independent health scientists consider safe -- particularly for PFAS, lead, and chromium-6. An EPA-certified RO system removes 95-99% of all detected contaminants and costs $0.10-$0.25 per gallon, compared to $1-$3 for bottled water.

What's the best filter for this area?

For most US cities, a reverse osmosis system under the sink is the gold standard -- it removes lead, PFAS, arsenic, nitrates, fluoride, and virtually everything else. For renters, a Waterdrop D4 countertop RO requires zero installation. Enter your ZIP above to get personalized recommendations based on your actual water report.

LEAD SERVICE LINE RISK
Does your street have lead pipes?

As of October 2024, all US water utilities must publish a public inventory of their lead service lines — the pipes connecting the water main to your home. Even if your utility water tests clean at the treatment plant, lead can leach from these pipes into your tap. Homes built before 1986 are most at risk.

💡 Homes built before 1986 may have lead solder or service lines. A filter certified NSF/ANSI 53 removes lead at the tap regardless of pipe material.
