Generated state hub templates.
Water quality lookup
Look up local public drinking water information.
Find the public water system behind a place or PWSID, then use plain-English pages to understand reports, contaminants, violations, sources, and limitations.
Start with a city, system name, ZIP code, or PWSID
This static MVP uses sample data only. It proves the lookup path before national official-data imports are added.
Public information
Built to organize public drinking water records and source links.
System-first
Public water systems are the core data pages, not city pages.
Not live alerts
Check official utilities or agencies for current notices.
Sample MVP
Current pages use demo data and do not represent national coverage.
What You Can Look Up
A calmer path from place name to public water data
The site is structured around the questions people usually have when they open a water quality report or try to confirm the right public water system.
Public water systems
Use PWSID and system profiles as the main record for reports, violations, contaminants, and source links.
Annual reports and CCRs
Read report-year context without treating annual reports as live status pages.
Contaminants in plain English
Separate detections, legal limits, health guidance, and violations before drawing conclusions.
Violations and notices
Understand what violation language means and where to check for current official notices.
Sources and limitations
See how official data, utility reports, missing data, and sample records should be handled.
Find My Water System
Start with a place or utility name, then confirm the system with your bill or an official lookup.
Current MVP Data
Sample coverage for template testing
The current build includes a small Texas demo dataset. These counts show generated sample records, not complete state or national coverage.
City hubs route users to systems.
Public water system records.
Evergreen contaminant pages.
Browse
Start with the available Texas sample pages
State and city pages are navigation layers. Use them to find the public water system profile that matches the place or account you are checking.
Lookup guidance
City names are a starting point
A city can be related to more than one public water system, and a water system can serve areas outside city boundaries. Confirm with a bill, utility account, or official lookup when the answer matters.
Example Profile
Public water system profiles are the core pages
The public water system profile is where system identifiers, report context, violations, contaminants, official source links, and limitations come together.

Annual reports are historical/reporting documents, not live status pages.
Tools And Guides
Task-focused help, not a blog archive
Tools and guides should help people complete a water-quality task, interpret a report, or understand what a source can and cannot say.
Find My Water System
Start with a city, ZIP code, utility name, or PWSID, then confirm the serving public water system with official sources.
How to read a water quality report
A plain-English walkthrough of Consumer Confidence Reports, including report years, detected contaminants, legal limits, violations, and source notes.
What a drinking water violation means
How to separate monitoring, reporting, treatment, and health-based violation language before drawing conclusions.
Planned
More lookup tools
Planned tools stay as index-page items until they have enough useful static content to support their own pages.
Explainers
Common contaminant pages
These pages explain what report terms can mean and where to check official source language.
Metals
Lead
Lead can enter drinking water through plumbing materials and service lines. Reports may describe lead differently from other contaminants because lead is regulated with an action level rather than a simple maximum contaminant level.
Inorganic chemicals
Nitrate
Nitrate may appear in reports when source water is influenced by fertilizer, septic systems, or other nitrogen sources.
Microbial indicators
Total coliform
Total coliform is used as an indicator in drinking water monitoring. A result can trigger follow-up steps, but the exact meaning depends on the rule, sample context, and official notice language.
