Frequently Asked Questions About Lindsay Tap Water
Lindsay's water has 2 contaminants above EPA's legal limit (MCL, enforceable from April 26, 2029). We recommend using a certified water filter for additional protection, especially for vulnerable populations like children, pregnant women, and those with compromised immune systems. EPA records 17 health-based violations for LINDSAY, CITY OF that began after its latest compliance result on file (Feb 2023): Maximum Contaminant Level Violation, Average (Total Haloacetic Acids (HAA5)), 5 violations, the first beginning on January 1, 2025 and the latest on January 1, 2026; Maximum Contaminant Level Violation, Average (TTHM), 9 violations, the first beginning on January 1, 2025 and the latest on January 1, 2026; Monthly Turbidity Exceed (Enhanced SWTR) (Interim Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule), 3 violations, the first beginning on April 1, 2023 and the latest on June 1, 2023.
