Lead
Detected: 2.7 UG/L (ppb)
7/25/2025
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: 2.3 UG/L (ppb)
7/25/2025
Arsenic
Detected: 6.6 UG/L (ppb)
10/21/2025
Occurs naturally in some groundwater. Long-term exposure above the legal limit (10 ppb) has been linked to increased cancer risk and cardiovascular disease.
Disinfection Byproducts
Formed when chlorine used to disinfect water reacts with organic matter
Totalhaloaceticacids (HAA5)
Detected: 5.5 UG/L (ppb)
7/22/2025
TTHM
Detected: 4.5 UG/L (ppb)
7/22/2025
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: 3 UG/L (ppb)

Chloroform
Detected: 0.95 UG/L (ppb)
7/22/2025
One of the individual trihalomethane disinfection byproducts, formed when chlorine reacts with organic matter.
Bromodichloromethane
Detected: 1.4 UG/L (ppb)

Inorganics
Common dissolved minerals and salts, e.g. nitrate, fluoride, chloride
Nitrate
Detected: 6.5 MG/L (ppm)
10/28/2025
Commonly from agricultural fertilizer runoff or septic systems. Above the legal limit, it's an immediate concern especially for infants.
