Lead Summary
Detected: 0 mg/L (ppm)

Chromium, Hex
Detected: 0.038 UG/L (ppb)
11/3/2025
Chromium
Detected: 6.2 UG/L (ppb)
10/27/2025
Occurs in two forms — trivalent (an essential nutrient in trace amounts) and hexavalent (linked to increased cancer risk).
Combined Uranium
Detected: 15 PCI/L
10/8/2025
A naturally occurring radioactive metal. Long-term exposure above the legal limit is associated with kidney effects and increased cancer risk.
Molybdenum, Total
Detected: 5.8 UG/L (ppb)
10/6/2025
Vanadium, Total
Detected: 4.2 UG/L (ppb)
10/6/2025
Iron
Detected: 22 UG/L (ppb)
9/24/2025
Mostly an aesthetic issue (metallic taste, staining) rather than a health concern at typical levels.
Nickel
Detected: 1.5 UG/L (ppb)
10/8/2025
Barium
Detected: 120 UG/L (ppb)
10/6/2025
Arsenic
Detected: 1.7 UG/L (ppb)
10/8/2025
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
Chloroform
Detected: 0.54 UG/L (ppb)
2/16/2025
One of the individual trihalomethane disinfection byproducts, formed when chlorine reacts with organic matter.
Bromoform
