According to EPA SDWIS, Potomac, Maryland is served by 10 community water systems covering about 2,645 people. The same extract lists 7 health-based violation records, most recently coded 1030 in 2024. Counts are historical EPA registry rows, not a current compliance or drinkability score.
Drinking water in Potomac, Maryland is delivered through 10 EPA-regulated community water systems serving an estimated 2,645 people. Each system is tracked in the EPA Safe Drinking Water Information System (SDWIS) under the Safe Drinking Water Act, which requires testing for regulated contaminants, consumer notification of violations, and publication of an annual Consumer Confidence Report.
PlainEnviro's health-based SDWIS extract shows 7 violation records across the 10 active community systems shown here. Monitoring and reporting records are not present in the extract. The records carry 2 distinct EPA contaminant codes: Lead, Lead and Copper Rule.
A past EPA health-based registry row does not describe water delivered today or current compliance status; utilities notify customers and remediate under state primacy oversight when required. For current water-quality status and treatment practices, review your local utility's most recent Consumer Confidence Report or contact the Maryland drinking water program. All records above reflect federal EPA SDWIS data and are not independently verified against state databases.

A health-based violation row in this extract is a historical EPA registry entry. It does not describe water delivered today or current compliance status. Many records are later resolved, and public water systems notify customers when required. For current conditions, contact your local water utility or the state drinking water program.
