Contaminants found

Metals
Naturally occurring or corrosion-related elements, e.g. lead, arsenic, copper
Lead Summary
Detected: 0.0126 mg/L (ppm)
Found at 30 providers
Copper, Free
Detected: 270 UG/L (ppb)
Found at 9 providers
Chromium, Hex
Detected: 9.3 UG/L (ppb)
Found at 19 providers
Arsenic
Detected: 3.3 UG/L (ppb)
Found at 3 providers
Occurs naturally in some groundwater. Long-term exposure above the legal limit (10 ppb) has been linked to increased cancer risk and cardiovascular disease.
Lead
Detected: 6 UG/L (ppb)
Found at 2 providers
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: 194 UG/L (ppb)
3/12/2025
Mostly an aesthetic issue (metallic taste, staining) rather than a health concern at typical levels.
Manganese
Detected: 30 UG/L (ppb)
Found at 2 providers
Mainly a taste/staining concern at typical levels; long-term neurological research at high chronic exposure is ongoing.
Nickel
Detected: 0.64 UG/L (ppb)
3/12/2025

Detected: 147 UG/L (ppb)
Found at 3 providers
Zinc
Detected: 4490 UG/L (ppb)
Found at 2 providers
Combined Uranium
Detected: 0.824 PCI/L
Found at 2 providers
A naturally occurring radioactive metal. Long-term exposure above the legal limit is associated with kidney effects and increased cancer risk.
Chromium
Detected: 8.3 UG/L (ppb)
Found at 2 providers
Occurs in two forms โ€” trivalent (an essential nutrient in trace amounts) and hexavalent (linked to increased cancer risk).
Strontium
Detected: 400 UG/L (ppb)

Disinfection Byproducts
Formed when chlorine used to disinfect water reacts with organic matter
TTHM
Detected: 62 UG/L (ppb)
Found at 4 providers
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.
