Lead Summary
Detected: 0.00056 mg/L (ppm)
12/31/2025
Lead
Detected: 0.95 UG/L (ppb)
6/9/2025
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: 3.1 UG/L (ppb)
8/15/2025
Iron
Detected: 33 UG/L (ppb)
5/29/2025
Mostly an aesthetic issue (metallic taste, staining) rather than a health concern at typical levels.
Chromium, Hex
Detected: 3.9 UG/L (ppb)
5/29/2025
Chromium
Detected: 4.2 UG/L (ppb)
5/29/2025
Occurs in two forms — trivalent (an essential nutrient in trace amounts) and hexavalent (linked to increased cancer risk).
Nickel
Detected: 1.3 UG/L (ppb)
4/1/2025
Barium
Detected: 28 UG/L (ppb)
5/29/2025
Arsenic
Detected: 5.1 UG/L (ppb)
5/29/2025
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
TTHM
Detected: 5.5 UG/L (ppb)
7/15/2025
A group of disinfection byproducts formed when chlorine reacts with organic matter. Long-term exposure above the legal limit has been linked to increased cancer risk in some studies.
Bromoform
Detected: 3.1 UG/L (ppb)
7/15/2025
Bromodichloromethane
Detected: 0.71 UG/L (ppb)
7/15/2025
Dibromochloromethane
Detected: 1.7 UG/L (ppb)

5/29/2025
Often added deliberately for dental health; can also occur naturally.
Nitrate
Detected: 7.1 MG/L (ppm)
8/19/2025
Commonly from agricultural fertilizer runoff or septic systems. Above the legal limit, it's an immediate concern especially for infants.
Nitrate-Nitrite
Detected: 2 MG/L (ppm)
5/29/2025

Detected: 4.53 PCI/L
8/5/2025
pH
Detected: 8.3 PH
5/29/2025
