St George City Water Quality Summary

St George City Water System supplies drinking water to about 105,240 people in St George City, Utah, and draws from surface water (rivers, lakes, or reservoirs), which requires fuller treatment for runoff, sediment, and microbial risk. On the IsWaterSafe scale it earns a fair Water Safety Score of 78 out of 100 (Grade C), a composite of its EPA SDWIS violation and contaminant record.

This system has no health-based violations on record, but EPA logs 2 monitoring violations — failures to test or report water quality on schedule rather than confirmed contamination. 22 enforcement actions are recorded against the system.

Across the 3 substances sampled, none exceeded its EPA limit. Arsenic sits highest relative to its ceiling, detected at 5 ppb against an MCL of 10 ppb (sampled March 2016) — within the legal limit.
