What is in the water at 29374

2 public water systems serve this ZIP code in the federal records. Everything below comes from EPA monitoring data, and everything missing is named.

SPARTANBURG WATER SYSTEM (4210001)

PWSID SC4210001 · SC · serves 140,024 people

PFAS and lithium

Sampled, nothing detected. Tested for 30 compounds under UCMR 5 with none found at or above its reporting limit. A reporting limit is the lowest concentration the method can measure, so this means “below that” rather than “zero”.

Health-based violations

No open health-based violation on record. This covers MCL, treatment technique and MRDL violations in SDWIS that have not been returned to compliance. It excludes monitoring and reporting violations, which are the large majority nationally, so this is not “no violations”, and SDWIS completeness varies by state.

Hardness

Median hardness 17 mg/L as CaCO₃, measured at 14 stations serving this system across 155 results, 2015-01-15 to 2026-04-02. Measured in the water source and distribution area, not at a tap, and not in your home.

WOODRUFF ROEBUCK W/D (4220007)

PWSID SC4220007 · SC · serves 28,897 people

PFAS and lithium

4 compounds detected at or above the reporting limit under EPA’s UCMR 5 monitoring, across 10 samples.

A detection is a measurement, not a violation and not a health finding. EPA states that UCMR 5 results do not indicate compliance or non-compliance with any limit.

Health-based violations

No open health-based violation on record. This covers MCL, treatment technique and MRDL violations in SDWIS that have not been returned to compliance. It excludes monitoring and reporting violations, which are the large majority nationally, so this is not “no violations”, and SDWIS completeness varies by state.

Hardness

Median hardness 21 mg/L as CaCO₃, measured at 9 stations serving this system across 161 results, 2015-01-15 to 2026-04-01. Measured in the water source and distribution area, not at a tap, and not in your home.

What this report cannot tell you

Every figure describes water at a sampling point: a treatment plant, an entry point to the distribution system, or a monitoring station. None of it describes water arriving at your tap. Plumbing between the two can add lead and copper, and if your home was built before 1986 a test kit tells you something no federal dataset can.
