How to Read This for a Houston Home Purchase

City-level numbers describe the broad pattern around Houston. The exposure that matters for a specific house is the matched water utility for that address, plus any industrial or military source within a few miles. Two homes a mile apart in Houston can be on different water systems and have very different PFAS profiles.

The address report fills that in: it identifies the public water system serving the property, lists any PFAS detections on that exact system, and maps the nearby industrial and Superfund sources.
