Tetrachloroethylene (PCE) violations in New Mexico

3 active public water systems in New Mexico had a Tetrachloroethylene (PCE) violation in the past three years. What Tetrachloroethylene (PCE) is and why it matters.

Health effects: PCE is classified by EPA as a probable human carcinogen (Group B2), with evidence linking it to bladder and non-Hodgkin lymphoma risk. Chronic exposure is also associated with liver and kidney damage and neurological effects. Communities near dry cleaning operations and contaminated military installations face the greatest long-term exposure risk.

About this data

A system is counted once if any of its violations in the past three years involved Tetrachloroethylene (PCE), including monitoring and reporting lapses. Rules violated and status in the table are for the whole system, not Tetrachloroethylene (PCE) alone.

Source: the U.S. EPA's Enforcement and Compliance History Online system (ECHO), which publishes the federal Safe Drinking Water Information System. EPA's terms and values are shown as published. The New Mexico records are from EPA's data refresh of Oct 7, 2026; EPA refreshes this data quarterly, and states report to EPA with a lag of three to six months, so the newest violations may not appear yet.
