ABOUT WATER QUALITY IN WASHINGTON DC

Washington DC 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, no tracked city shows a compound flagged above its EPA limit in UCMR data; violations row still notes regulated tallies when present.
