Violations on file
Coliform (TCR)
Older/archived health-based violation
Found at 8 of 99 providers
Nitrate
Older/archived health-based violation
Found at 2 of 99 providers
Commonly from agricultural fertilizer runoff or septic systems. Above the legal limit, it's an immediate concern especially for infants.
Arsenic
Older/archived health-based violation
Found at 7 of 99 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 And Copper Rule Revisions
Currently open health violation
Found at 3 of 99 providers
TTHM
Older/archived health-based violation
Found at 3 of 99 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.
Total Haloacetic Acids (HAA5)
Older/archived health-based violation
Found at 1 of 99 providers
Contaminants found
Metals
Naturally occurring or corrosion-related elements, e.g. lead, arsenic, copper
Lead Summary
Detected: 0.0275 mg/L (ppm)
Found at 29 providers
Arsenic
Detected: 30.2 UG/L (ppb)
Found at 19 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.
Copper, Free
Detected: 370 UG/L (ppb)
Found at 11 providers
Combined Uranium
Detected: 5.9 PCI/L
Found at 3 providers
A naturally occurring radioactive metal. Long-term exposure above the legal limit is associated with kidney effects and increased cancer risk.
Lead
Detected: 5.5 UG/L (ppb)
Found at 8 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.

Found at 12 providers
Barium
Detected: 28 UG/L (ppb)
Found at 3 providers
Iron
Detected: 2100 UG/L (ppb)
Found at 9 providers
Mostly an aesthetic issue (metallic taste, staining) rather than a health concern at typical levels.
Manganese
Detected: 73 UG/L (ppb)
Found at 6 providers
Mainly a taste/staining concern at typical levels; long-term neurological research at high chronic exposure is ongoing.
Zinc
Detected: 1100 UG/L (ppb)
Found at 2 providers

Detected: 2 mg/L (ppm)
Found at 2 providers
Chromium, Hex
Detected: 0.1 UG/L (ppb)
