Frequently Asked Questions About Lapeer Tap Water
Lapeer's water has 2 contaminants above EPA MCLGs and 1 above EPA's legal limit (MCL). 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 2 health-based violations for LAPEER, CITY OF that began after its latest compliance result on file (Jun 2022): WQP Entry Point/Tap Treatment Technique Non-Compliance (Lead and Copper Rule), 2 violations, the first beginning on July 1, 2022 and the latest on January 1, 2023. Every such result predates them; its later EPA UCMR 5 results (Jan 2025) screen for unregulated contaminants and cannot show the water met this standard, so this page does not call the water safe.
