What's really in Sanders's water

Uranium

Violation on record

Health-based: yes
Measured in your water49 ppb
Federal legal limit (MCL)30 ppb

21 EPA records on file (most recent 2025). Uranium occurs naturally in rock and dissolves into groundwater, with extra contributions from mining in some regions. It is both a radioactive and a toxic metal; long-term exposure mainly damages the kidneys and increases cancer risk. It is widespread in Western groundwater.

Water hardness

very hard

Sanders's water is very hard. Hardness isn't a health risk, but it drives scale on fixtures and water heaters, shortens appliance life, and leaves skin and hair dry.

EPA violations may be administrative or monitoring/reporting issues rather than measured exceedances of a health limit. A utility appearing on this list does not by itself mean the water is unsafe to drink. Health-based goals (EPA MCLG / WHO) are health targets and are often stricter than the legal limit (the federal MCL). The only way to know what is in your specific home is to test your own water.
