Lead Summary
Detected: 0 mg/L (ppm)
12/31/2025
Lead
Detected: 20 UG/L (ppb)
7/10/2025
A metal that can leach from old pipes, solder, and fixtures. Current medical guidance holds there is no truly safe level of lead exposure, especially for children and pregnant women.
Copper, Free
Detected: 54 UG/L (ppb)
9/5/2025
Combined Uranium
Detected: 2.1 PCI/L
8/19/2025
A naturally occurring radioactive metal. Long-term exposure above the legal limit is associated with kidney effects and increased cancer risk.
Iron
Detected: 190 UG/L (ppb)
10/22/2025
Mostly an aesthetic issue (metallic taste, staining) rather than a health concern at typical levels.
Manganese
Detected: 24 UG/L (ppb)
8/19/2025
Mainly a taste/staining concern at typical levels; long-term neurological research at high chronic exposure is ongoing.
Chromium, Hex
Detected: 1.9 UG/L (ppb)
8/19/2025
Barium
Detected: 91 UG/L (ppb)
8/19/2025
Aluminum
Detected: 250 UG/L (ppb)

Disinfection Byproducts
Formed when chlorine used to disinfect water reacts with organic matter
TTHM
Detected: 0.5 UG/L (ppb)
5/5/2025
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
