The short answer for Ware Shoals

Ware Shoals tap water has 19 contaminants above EPA guidelines, including HFPO-DA at 9.6× the limit (tested August 2025). See the full compound-by-compound breakdown and filter recommendations.

The health risk for Ware Shoals

PFAS ('forever chemicals') have been detected above EPA limits in this water system's most recent tests. These synthetic chemicals do not break down in the body and are linked to a range of health effects. A certified filter is strongly recommended.

Frequently Asked Questions about ZIP 29692 Tap Water

What contaminants are above EPA limits in ZIP 29692?

ZIP 29692 has 19 contaminants above EPA health guidelines in the latest available data, including HFPO-DA at 9.6x the EPA guideline. The full table on this page lists every tested compound and its measured level.

Will boiling ZIP 29692 tap water remove HFPO-DA?

No. Boiling does not remove PFAS, and the compounds can actually become more concentrated as water evaporates. To reduce PFAS at home, use a filter independently certified to NSF/ANSI P473 (activated-carbon pitcher or under-sink) or NSF/ANSI 58 (reverse osmosis).

Do basic pitcher filters remove HFPO-DA?

Most basic pitcher filters are only certified to NSF/ANSI 42 or 53, which do not cover PFAS. Look for a filter independently certified to NSF/ANSI P473 (activated-carbon pitcher or under-sink) or NSF/ANSI 58 (reverse osmosis) on the spec sheet.

Who provides tap water in ZIP 29692?

Public records identify GREENWOOD CPW (2410001) as a primary water system associated with ZIP 29692. Service boundaries can vary by address, so confirm exact service with the utility.

When was ZIP 29692 tap water last tested?

The most recent test date used in this report is September 2025. EnviroClarity last refreshed this page on 2026-05-05.

Where can I find the official water quality report for ZIP 29692?

Every U.S. public water system is required to publish an annual Consumer Confidence Report (CCR). Contact GREENWOOD CPW (2410001) or visit their website for the latest official report covering ZIP 29692. The EPA also maintains a national CCR locator.
