Contaminants found

Metals
Naturally occurring or corrosion-related elements, e.g. lead, arsenic, copper
Lead Summary
Detected: 0 mg/L (ppm)
12/31/2025
Lead
Detected: 22 UG/L (ppb)
6/12/2025
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.
Copper, Free
Detected: 39 UG/L (ppb)
8/1/2025
Chromium, Hex
Detected: 21 UG/L (ppb)
9/29/2025
Chromium
Detected: 15 UG/L (ppb)
3/20/2025
Occurs in two forms — trivalent (an essential nutrient in trace amounts) and hexavalent (linked to increased cancer risk).
Barium
Detected: 34 UG/L (ppb)

Often added deliberately for dental health; can also occur naturally.
Nitrate-Nitrite
Detected: 0.67 MG/L (ppm)
3/20/2025
Nitrate
Detected: 0.65 MG/L (ppm)
5/19/2025
