What the 90th percentile is
The 90th percentile of all samples collected from the distribution system is the standard that the US Environmental Protection Agency has chosen for determining compliance with the Lead and Copper Action Level under the federal Lead and Copper Rule. The 90th percentile is determined by ranking all sample results from lowest to highest and finding a result that is 90% of the number of sample results from the top. For example, if there are 10 sample results, the 90th percentile would be the 9th sample result from the top.
