Frequently Asked Questions About Lincoln Tap Water
Lincoln's water has 3 contaminants above EPA MCLGs. 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 a health-based violation for FALLS WATER COMPANY INC that began after its latest compliance result on file (May 2022): Treatment Technique, Level 1 Assessment (RTCR) (Revised Total Coliform Rule), which began on November 8, 2022. Every such result predates it; its later EPA UCMR 5 results (Nov 2024) screen for unregulated contaminants and cannot show the water met this standard, so this page does not call the water safe.
