Lead Summary
Detected: 0.0029 mg/L (ppm)
12/31/2026
Iron
Detected: 570 UG/L (ppb)
9/18/2025
Mostly an aesthetic issue (metallic taste, staining) rather than a health concern at typical levels.
Manganese
Detected: 49 UG/L (ppb)
9/18/2025
Mainly a taste/staining concern at typical levels; long-term neurological research at high chronic exposure is ongoing.
Arsenic
Detected: 12 UG/L (ppb)
6/5/2025
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: 0.03 UG/L (ppb)

TTHM
Detected: 9.3 UG/L (ppb)
2/20/2025
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.
Chloroform
