Nevada Tap Water Quality by City

EPA UCMR5 PFAS monitoring, MCL / guideline flags, and WaterCheckup grades for 3 cities in Nevada. "At Risk" means at least one UCMR analyte flagged above an EPA limit or a regulated PFAS violation on record for that system. "Monitor" means no such flag in UCMR data, but the city profile is medium or high concern. "Safe" means no exceedance flags and a low-concern city profile (still not a guarantee for every tap).

Average water hardness in Nevada: 59 ppm → Mean of UCMR5 values for 3 tracked Nevada cities (not every utility).

ABOUT WATER QUALITY IN NEVADA

Nevada water quality varies by city and water system. UCMR5 reports PFAS and related analytes; the "above limit" column uses the EPA-limit flags bundled with each analyte in our dataset (same basis as city pages). Here, 3 of 3 tracked cities show at least one such flag or a regulated violation count.
