Contamination score

Higher = more contaminated vs. other cities.

No violation, lawsuit, or contamination record specific to Adrian's municipal water utility was found; EWG's tap water database shows Adrian's system in compliance with federal health-based standards as of the most recent EPA-assessed quarter. Michigan as a whole has extensive documented PFAS contamination statewide (11,000+ known or suspected sites) and weakening federal PFAS limits are a live concern, so a modest baseline score reflects that broader state context rather than any specific finding for Adrian.
