Contaminants found

Metals
Naturally occurring or corrosion-related elements, e.g. lead, arsenic, copper
Lead Summary
Detected: 0.092 mg/L (ppm)
Found at 31 providers
Iron
Detected: 4460 UG/L (ppb)
Found at 9 providers
Mostly an aesthetic issue (metallic taste, staining) rather than a health concern at typical levels.
Manganese
Detected: 600 UG/L (ppb)
Found at 10 providers
Mainly a taste/staining concern at typical levels; long-term neurological research at high chronic exposure is ongoing.

Detected: 5.1 mg/L (ppm)
Found at 7 providers
Lead
Detected: 13 UG/L (ppb)
Found at 4 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.

Occurs in two forms β€” trivalent (an essential nutrient in trace amounts) and hexavalent (linked to increased cancer risk).
Arsenic
Detected: 31 UG/L (ppb)
Found at 7 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.
