What Denmark's water readings can explain
We publish a city-level hardness figure for Denmark, resolved from its water systems where they report one and estimated from county sampling where they do not. Each page starts with the hot-tap and cold-tap check, then shows what your own water system reported.

Frequently Asked Questions About Denmark Tap Water
Denmark's water has 1 contaminant 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 DENMARK TOWN OF (SC0510002) that began after its latest compliance result on file (Jul 2022): Maximum Contaminant Level Violation, E. coli (RTCR) (Revised Total Coliform Rule), which began on December 1, 2023. 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.
