Lead Summary
Detected: 0 mg/L (ppm)
12/31/2023
Manganese
Detected: 97 UG/L (ppb)
10/9/2025

Iron
Detected: 46 UG/L (ppb)
5/15/2025
Mostly an aesthetic issue (metallic taste, staining) rather than a health concern at typical levels.
Disinfection Byproducts
Formed when chlorine used to disinfect water reacts with organic matter
