Lead Summary
Detected: 0 mg/L (ppm)
12/31/2024
Combined Uranium
Detected: 3.3 PCI/L
3/20/2025
A naturally occurring radioactive metal. Long-term exposure above the legal limit is associated with kidney effects and increased cancer risk.
Manganese
Detected: 5.3 UG/L (ppb)
3/20/2025
Mainly a taste/staining concern at typical levels; long-term neurological research at high chronic exposure is ongoing.
Barium
Detected: 150 UG/L (ppb)
3/20/2025
Arsenic
Detected: 2.1 UG/L (ppb)
3/20/2025
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
Dibromochloromethane
Detected: 1.1 UG/L (ppb)
