Washington · system WA5346670 · serves 1,112 people
Band placed by this system's most recent reported result within a rolling three-year window; the three-year range below includes non-detects (limit <0.5) alongside detected results.
The reading
A single reading is not a complete account of what a household drinks, so the three-year range and the number of tests behind it are shown too — a reading backed by many tests over three years is a fuller picture than one from a single sample.

Where this ranks
This system's nitrate sits in the top 14% nationally. Systems reporting less serve about 86% of everyone on NitrateSmart's tracked supply; the other about 14% are on systems reporting the same or more. That compares what systems reported, not what comes out of any one tap.
What "Human impact likely" means
Nitrate here is low, but a little above natural background[1] — enough to suggest that fertilizer, manure, a septic system, or wastewater has reached the source. This is a statement about where the nitrate came from, not about harm.
Sources
The bands describe how strongly human activity, read from nitrate, has marked a water source — they are not a safety verdict. More on what the numbers mean and where nitrate comes from.
