Chromium, Hex
Detected: 0.072 UG/L (ppb)
10/29/2025
Arsenic
Detected: 0.83 UG/L (ppb)
10/15/2025
Occurs naturally in some groundwater. Long-term exposure above the legal limit (10 ppb) has been linked to increased cancer risk and cardiovascular disease.
Inorganics
Common dissolved minerals and salts, e.g. nitrate, fluoride, chloride
Chloride
Detected: 13 MG/L (ppm)

Nitrate
Detected: 1.3 MG/L (ppm)
9/4/2025
Commonly from agricultural fertilizer runoff or septic systems. Above the legal limit, it's an immediate concern especially for infants.
