Score water quality description

A score for the overall quality of local surface water (rivers, lakes, streams), ranging from 0 to 10, with higher numbers indicating cleaner waterways.

This score measures the freshwater you actually swim in, fish in, or live next to, not literally tap water. Buyers care about it for recreational water use, property value next to clean water, contamination risk to private wells, and the overall environmental health of the area.

  • 0-2: Very Poor - Significant local surface water issues
  • 3-4: Poor - Notable water quality pressures
  • 5-6: Marginal - Mixed conditions
  • 7-8: Fair to Good - Clean local surface water
  • 9-10: Excellent - Pristine local surface water

In the United States this is the biological indices of the Environmental Protection Agency's national surveys of rivers and lakes, the chemistry left out.
