Your water,
and the report it came from.

Fourteen local water systems, every published figure we hold, and a citation on each one. Where we do not hold a report, this page says so instead of guessing. That is the whole idea.

How to read any of this

Four things that make these reports readable.

A limit is an average

The 80 ppb trihalomethane limit applies to a four-quarter running average at a location, not to one sample. A single reading over 80 is not a violation, and a utility saying so is being accurate rather than evasive.

EPA 815-R-20-005, Stage 2 DBP Rule

“PFAS” is a family, not a chemical

The EPA’s 4 ppt limit, set in April 2024, covers PFOA and PFOS specifically, with compliance required by 2029. Reports often list other PFAS that carry no limit at all. Check which compound a number belongs to.

EPA PFAS national primary drinking water regulation, April 2024

Detected is not the same as over

Modern instruments find things at parts per trillion. A detection means the lab saw it. Whether that matters depends entirely on the limit next to it, and the two get conflated constantly by people selling equipment.

No report means no oversight

Private wells produce no annual report because none is required. Nothing is being hidden. Nothing is being checked either, which is a different and more serious problem.

Charlotte Water

PWSID 01-60-010

Serves: Charlotte NC, Huntersville NC, Cornelius NC, Davidson NC, Matthews NC, Mint Hill NC, Pineville NC

Charlotte Water treats Catawba-basin surface water drawn from Mountain Island Lake and Lake Norman at its own plants.

Open the Charlotte Water 2025 Consumer Confidence Report

Total hardness 32 mg/L About 1.9 grains per gallon, calculated from the published 32 mg/L. No utility here prints grains, so that conversion is ours. Either way it is inside the soft band, and it is the number that makes a softener the wrong purchase for most Charlotte homes. Charlotte Water 2025 Consumer Confidence Report
Disinfectant Free chlorine Running annual average 1.04 ppm. Chlorine, not chloramine, whichever vendor blog told you otherwise. Charlotte Water 2025 Consumer Confidence Report
Trihalomethanes (TTHM) 63.7 ppb Highest locational running annual average against an 80 ppb federal limit, with individual samples between 17.2 and 77.4. Legal, no violation, and not zero. Carbon and reverse osmosis remove them. Charlotte Water 2025 Consumer Confidence Report
PFOA and PFOS Not detected The two compounds the EPA's 4 ppt limit covers were not detected in the 2025 report. Three unregulated PFAS were: PFBA at 2.1, PFHxA at 2.2 and PFPeA at 2.5 ppt. None of those three carries a federal limit. The 2023 report did list PFOA at 1.7 ppt, so this is a current reading, not a claim about every year. Charlotte Water 2025 Consumer Confidence Report
Lead ND to 44 ppb The 90th-percentile result was non-detect and Charlotte Water says no lead pipes have been found, but one sampled site came back above the 15 ppb action level. Lead is picked up from a home's own plumbing rather than from the treatment plant, which is exactly the case a drinking-water system solves and a whole-house softener does not. Charlotte Water 2025 Consumer Confidence Report
Drinking water violations Zero The report states zero drinking water violations for the year. Charlotte Water 2025 Consumer Confidence Report

What this means for your house. Soft water and a clean compliance record, so this is a filtration conversation and not a softener conversation. If something bothers you, it is almost always taste or the chlorine byproducts, and the right answer is carbon at the whole house plus reverse osmosis at the kitchen sink.

Rock Hill Water

PWSID SC4610002

Serves: Rock Hill SC

The City of Rock Hill runs its own plant on Lake Wylie and the Catawba River, and sells that water on to several neighbouring systems.

Open the Rock Hill 2024 water quality report

Total hardness 18 to 35 ppm The report marks it unregulated, at a 35 mg/L high. That is about 2 grains per gallon by our own conversion, inside the soft band. Rock Hill 2024 water quality report
Trihalomethanes (TTHM) 54.5 ppb Highest locational running annual average, against an 80 ppb federal limit. One individual sample reached 86.3. That is above 80 and it is still not a violation, because the limit applies to the annual average, not to a single reading. Rock Hill 2024 water quality report
PFOA and PFOS Not listed The report lists PFHxA at 4.0 ppt and PFPeA at 4.6 ppt. Neither has a federal limit. Non-detects were left out of the table, so the two regulated compounds do not appear. Rock Hill 2024 water quality report
Disinfectant Chlorine Chlorine at a 1.34 ppm average, plus chlorine dioxide at 0.169 ppm for pre-oxidation, which is distinctive to Rock Hill among the systems on this page. Rock Hill 2024 water quality report
Raw water Lake Wylie and the Catawba Surface intakes on Lake Wylie and the Catawba River, treated at Rock Hill’s own plant, which supplies more than 165,000 people once the wholesale customers are counted: York County, the City of York, Fort Mill, Tega Cay and the Catawba Indian Nation. Rock Hill 2024 water quality report

What this means for your house. Soft supply, so this is a filtration question rather than a softener question for anyone inside the city lines. The trihalomethane spread is the thing worth treating, and carbon does it. Just outside the lines, private wells are ordinary, and that is a completely different answer.

Town of Fort Mill

PWSID SC4610003

Serves: Fort Mill SC

Fort Mill operates no treatment plant. It buys 100% of its drinking water from the City of Rock Hill, so every number below is Rock Hill’s.

Open the Rock Hill 2024 water quality report, which Fort Mill’s own CCR points to

Total hardness 18 to 35 ppm The report marks it unregulated, at a 35 mg/L high. That is about 2 grains per gallon by our own conversion, inside the soft band. Rock Hill 2024 water quality report
Trihalomethanes (TTHM) 54.5 ppb Highest locational running annual average, against an 80 ppb federal limit. One individual sample reached 86.3. That is above 80 and it is still not a violation, because the limit applies to the annual average, not to a single reading. Rock Hill 2024 water quality report
PFOA and PFOS Not listed The report lists PFHxA at 4.0 ppt and PFPeA at 4.6 ppt. Neither has a federal limit. Non-detects were left out of the table, so the two regulated compounds do not appear. Rock Hill 2024 water quality report
Disinfectant Chlorine Chlorine at a 1.34 ppm average, plus chlorine dioxide at 0.169 ppm for pre-oxidation, which is distinctive to Rock Hill among the systems on this page. Rock Hill 2024 water quality report
Raw water Lake Wylie and the Catawba Surface intakes on Lake Wylie and the Catawba River, treated at Rock Hill’s own plant, which supplies more than 165,000 people once the wholesale customers are counted: York County, the City of York, Fort Mill, Tega Cay and the Catawba Indian Nation. Rock Hill 2024 water quality report

What this means for your house. You are drinking Rock Hill water, which is soft. If a salesperson pitches you a Fort Mill hard-water problem, ask which report that came from. Newer Fort Mill construction outside the town system is often on a well, and that is the case worth testing properly.

City of Tega Cay

PWSID SC4610008

Serves: Tega Cay SC

Tega Cay operates no treatment plant. It buys its water from Fort Mill, which buys it from Rock Hill, so every number below is Rock Hill’s.

Open the Rock Hill 2024 water quality report

Rock Hill 2024 water quality report

What this means for your house. Soft, purchased Rock Hill water. Filtration and a drinking-water system are the sensible conversation here. A softener usually is not.

City of York, SC

PWSID SC4610001

Serves: York SC

York closed its own treatment plant in 2019 and now buys its water from Rock Hill, so every number below is Rock Hill’s.

Rock Hill 2024 water quality report

What this means for your house. Soft, purchased Rock Hill water inside the town system. Wells are common in the surrounding county, and those are a separate and much more serious test.

York County Utilities West

PWSID SC4620003

Serves: Lake Wylie SC

York County Utilities West runs no plant of its own. It buys treated water from Rock Hill and from Charlotte Water, so the numbers below are Rock Hill’s.

Rock Hill 2024 water quality report

What this means for your house. Soft, purchased water. Worth knowing which of the two suppliers is feeding your street before anyone quotes you equipment, and worth an actual reading at your tap either way.

Lancaster County Water & Sewer District

PWSID SC2920001

Serves: Indian Land SC

Lancaster County Water and Sewer District takes Catawba River water treated at the Catawba River Water Supply Project.

Open the LCWSD 2025 Consumer Confidence Report

Total hardness 25 ppm Printed in the report as 1.5 grains per gallon, across a 19 to 32 ppm range. Soft. LCWSD 2025 Consumer Confidence Report
Disinfectant Chloramine This is the one local system disinfected with chloramine rather than free chlorine, and it has been since 2009. It matters: plenty of off-the-shelf carbon is rated for chlorine and underperforms on chloramine. LCWSD 2025 Consumer Confidence Report
PFOA and PFOS Non-detect Below the minimum reporting level in all four quarters of 2025. The last published detections, in 2023, were 2.6 to 3.3 ppt, under the 4.0 ppt federal limit. If anyone tells you Indian Land sits at the PFAS limit, they have read the limit column instead of the result column. LCWSD 2025 Consumer Confidence Report
Raw water Catawba River Treated at the Catawba River Water Supply Project, a joint venture with Union County NC. LCWSD 2025 Consumer Confidence Report

What this means for your house. Soft water on chloramine. The one specific thing to check here is that whatever media you buy is actually rated for chloramine, because a lot of it is not. That is a real difference between Indian Land and everywhere else on this list.

Union County Water

PWSID 01-90-413

Serves: Indian Trail NC, Waxhaw NC, Weddington NC, Marvin NC, Wesley Chapel NC

Union County Water buys treated Catawba water from the Catawba River Water Supply Project and, since February 2024, also runs its own plant on the Yadkin River.

Open the Union County Water annual water quality report

Arsenic, in wells that were tested 19.5% Peer-reviewed analysis found arsenic at or above the 10 ppb federal limit in 1,003 of 5,154 Union County well tests. Those are wells somebody chose to test, so read it as a reason to test rather than as a countywide rate. Eaves et al., NCWELL database, Science of the Total Environment 2022 · Sanders et al., Environment International 2012
Two different sources Catawba and Yadkin Which supply reaches your street depends on where you are in the county, so a neighbour’s reading is not automatically yours. Union County Water
Figures we have published None yet We have not read and published treated-water numbers for this system, so we are not going to print any. Read their report yourself, or let us measure your actual tap. Union County Water

What this means for your house. Two completely different situations share these ZIP codes. On county water this is an ordinary filtration question. On a well, especially in Weddington or Marvin, this is the strongest case we see anywhere in the market for full treatment, and it has to start with a real test rather than a brochure.

City of Concord

PWSID 01-13-010

Serves: Concord NC

The City of Concord draws from its own reservoirs in the Yadkin and Pee Dee basin and buys additional supply from Albemarle. This is not Catawba water.
