Contaminants found

Metals
Naturally occurring or corrosion-related elements, e.g. lead, arsenic, copper
Lead Summary
Detected: 0 mg/L (ppm)
12/31/2023
Manganese
Detected: 22 UG/L (ppb)
10/15/2025
Mainly a taste/staining concern at typical levels; long-term neurological research at high chronic exposure is ongoing.
Disinfection Byproducts
Formed when chlorine used to disinfect water reacts with organic matter
Totalhaloaceticacids (HAA5)
Detected: 1.1 UG/L (ppb)
8/19/2025
TTHM
Detected: 2.43 UG/L (ppb)
8/19/2025
A group of disinfection byproducts formed when chlorine reacts with organic matter. Long-term exposure above the legal limit has been linked to increased cancer risk in some studies.
Bromoform
Detected: 2.43 UG/L (ppb)
8/19/2025
Minerals
Everyday minerals that mainly affect taste and water hardness
Sodium
Detected: 120 MG/L (ppm)
10/21/2025
Properties
General water characteristics like pH, hardness, and cloudiness (turbidity)
pH
Detected: 7.93 PH
10/21/2025
A measure of how acidic or basic the water is (7 is neutral). Affects taste and plumbing, not a direct health measure.
PFAS & Emerging Contaminants
Human-made "forever chemicals" and other substances not yet fully regulated
Lithium
Detected: 28.4 ยตg/L (ppb)
8/7/2024
Occurs naturally in some groundwater. Not currently federally regulated in drinking water.
Calculated Parameters
Values worked out mathematically from other test results, not measured directly
Alkalinity, Bicarbonate
Detected: 260 MG/L (ppm)
10/21/2025
Other
Additional substances tested that don't fit neatly into the categories above
Dibromoaceticacid
Detected: 1.1 UG/L (ppb)
