Frequently Asked Questions About Perryville Tap Water
Perryville's water record shows 6 contaminants with an EPA health goal detected in some samples (no level on file) and 5 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 5 health-based violations for TOWN OF PERRYVILLE that began after its latest compliance result on file (Aug 2022): Maximum Contaminant Level Violation, Average (TTHM), 4 violations, the first beginning on April 1, 2025 and the latest on January 1, 2026; Treatment Technique (SWTR and GWR) (Long Term 2 Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule), which began on March 1, 2023. Every such result predates them; 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.
