Frequently Asked Questions About Greenville Tap Water
Greenville's water record shows 2 contaminants with an EPA health goal detected in some samples (no level on file) and 3 health-based EPA violations that began after the latest compliance result on file. 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 3 health-based violations for GREENVILLE UTILITIES COMMISSION that began after its latest compliance result on file (Apr 2022): Maximum Contaminant Level Violation, Average (TTHM), which began on January 1, 2025; Monthly Turbidity Exceed (Enhanced SWTR) (Interim Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule), which began on January 1, 2024; Single Turbidity Exceed (Enhanced SWTR) (Interim Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule), which began on January 1, 2024. Every such result predates them; its later EPA UCMR 5 results (Apr 2024) screen for unregulated contaminants and cannot show the water met this standard, so this page does not call the water safe.
