Contaminants found

Metals
Naturally occurring or corrosion-related elements, e.g. lead, arsenic, copper
Lead Summary
Detected: 0 mg/L (ppm)
12/31/2025
Manganese, Dissolved
Detected: 44 UG/L (ppb)
7/8/2025
Iron, Dissolved
Detected: 84 UG/L (ppb)
7/8/2025
Lead
Detected: 7.2 UG/L (ppb)
8/19/2025
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.
Iron
Detected: 30 UG/L (ppb)
10/6/2025
Mostly an aesthetic issue (metallic taste, staining) rather than a health concern at typical levels.
Manganese
Detected: 55 UG/L (ppb)
10/6/2025
Mainly a taste/staining concern at typical levels; long-term neurological research at high chronic exposure is ongoing.
Copper, Free
Detected: 60 UG/L (ppb)
8/19/2025
Arsenic
Detected: 2.5 UG/L (ppb)
8/11/2025
Occurs naturally in some groundwater. Long-term exposure above the legal limit (10 ppb) has been linked to increased cancer risk and cardiovascular disease.
Inorganics
Common dissolved minerals and salts, e.g. nitrate, fluoride, chloride
Chloride
Detected: 95 MG/L (ppm)
8/11/2025
Sulfate
Detected: 230 MG/L (ppm)
8/11/2025
Fluoride
Detected: 0.29 MG/L (ppm)
8/11/2025
Often added deliberately for dental health; can also occur naturally.
Properties
General water characteristics like pH, hardness, and cloudiness (turbidity)
Langelier Index (pH(s))
Detected: 0.043 LANG
8/11/2025
Gross Alpha Particle Activity
Detected: 7.37 PCI/L
1/16/2025
pH
Detected: 8 PH
8/11/2025
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: 18.8 µg/L (ppb)
