Lead Summary
Detected: 0.001 mg/L (ppm)

Arsenic
Detected: 8 UG/L (ppb)
10/27/2025
Occurs naturally in some groundwater. Long-term exposure above the legal limit (10 ppb) has been linked to increased cancer risk and cardiovascular disease.
Chromium, Hex
Detected: 0.62 UG/L (ppb)

Disinfection Byproducts
Formed when chlorine used to disinfect water reacts with organic matter
TTHM
Detected: 18 UG/L (ppb)
8/4/2025
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.
