PFAS test results for Kings Mountain
EPA UCMR 5 records for City of Kings Mountain, drawn from our federal data publication of September 1, 2026. Most recent PFAS sample in this record: . Individual compounds and sampling points can have different dates.
| Compound | Result | Reporting limit | Sample date / point |
|---|---|---|---|
| PFOA | Not detected above reporting limit | 0.004 µg/L | EP1 Sample detailsSample ID: 35923234001SE4 |
| PFOS | Not detected above reporting limit | 0.004 µg/L | EP1 Sample detailsSample ID: 35923234001SE4 |
Results retain the source units (µg/L). A non-detection is below the listed reporting limit, not proof that the water contains no PFAS. These historical occurrence samples are not a current compliance determination or a test of your household tap.

These are available system 90th-percentile results, not individual home concentrations. Missing compounds are not zero. Household plumbing and service lines can affect results at a tap. See the utility report for its testing and service-line information.
Official water-quality reports and local context
The 2025 report records total trihalomethane (TTHM) maximum contaminant level violations in March and June 2025. These are historical report findings; they do not establish the system’s status today. The city also maintains a separate page about taste, odor and treatment improvements.
Use the utility’s latest notices for current advisories or service issues. The annual reports and dated sample records here cover different periods; they should not be read as a live “safe” or “unsafe” rating.
