Contaminants found

Metals
Naturally occurring or corrosion-related elements, e.g. lead, arsenic, copper
Lead Summary
Detected: 0 mg/L (ppm)
12/31/2024
Combined Uranium
Detected: 1.4 PCI/L
8/6/2025
A naturally occurring radioactive metal. Long-term exposure above the legal limit is associated with kidney effects and increased cancer risk.
Vanadium, Total
Detected: 26 UG/L (ppb)
9/4/2025
Chromium, Hex
Detected: 21 UG/L (ppb)
10/1/2025
Chromium
Detected: 20 UG/L (ppb)
9/4/2025
Occurs in two forms — trivalent (an essential nutrient in trace amounts) and hexavalent (linked to increased cancer risk).
Arsenic
Detected: 3.1 UG/L (ppb)
9/4/2025
Occurs naturally in some groundwater. Long-term exposure above the legal limit (10 ppb) has been linked to increased cancer risk and cardiovascular disease.
Selenium
Detected: 5.4 UG/L (ppb)
7/1/2025
Inorganics
Common dissolved minerals and salts, e.g. nitrate, fluoride, chloride
Sulfate
Detected: 81 MG/L (ppm)
9/4/2025
Chloride
Detected: 2.9 MG/L (ppm)
9/4/2025
Fluoride
Detected: 0.4 MG/L (ppm)
9/4/2025
Often added deliberately for dental health; can also occur naturally.
Nitrate
Detected: 0.46 MG/L (ppm)
7/2/2025
Commonly from agricultural fertilizer runoff or septic systems. Above the legal limit, it's an immediate concern especially for infants.
Nitrate-Nitrite
Detected: 0.6 MG/L (ppm)
