Contaminants found

Metals

Naturally occurring or corrosion-related elements, e.g. lead, arsenic, copper

Lead Summary

Detected: 0 mg/L (ppm)

12/31/2027

Copper Summary

Detected: 1.62 mg/L (ppm)

12/31/1994

Copper, Free

Detected: 111 UG/L (ppb)

Chromium, Hex

Detected: 0.2 UG/L (ppb)

3/20/2025

Manganese

Detected: 1.79 UG/L (ppb)

4/22/2025

Mainly a taste/staining concern at typical levels; long-term neurological research at high chronic exposure is ongoing.

Barium

Detected: 2.9 UG/L (ppb)

4/22/2025

Arsenic

Detected: 3.18 UG/L (ppb)

4/22/2025

Occurs naturally in some groundwater. Long-term exposure above the legal limit (10 ppb) has been linked to increased cancer risk and cardiovascular disease.

Zinc

Detected: 5.9 UG/L (ppb)

4/22/2025

Inorganics

Common dissolved minerals and salts, e.g. nitrate, fluoride, chloride

Nitrate

Detected: 2.41 MG/L (ppm)

Found at 2 providers

Commonly from agricultural fertilizer runoff or septic systems. Above the legal limit, it's an immediate concern especially for infants.

Chloride

Detected: 8.95 MG/L (ppm)

4/22/2025

Sulfate

Detected: 1.34 MG/L (ppm)

4/22/2025

Fluoride

Detected: 0.3 MG/L (ppm)

4/22/2025

Often added deliberately for dental health; can also occur naturally.

Minerals

Everyday minerals that mainly affect taste and water hardness

Magnesium

Detected: 6.2 MG/L (ppm)

4/22/2025

Sodium

Detected: 19 MG/L (ppm)

4/22/2025

Calcium

Detected: 7.2 MG/L (ppm)

4/22/2025

Properties

General water characteristics like pH, hardness, and cloudiness (turbidity)

Hardness, Total (ASCACO3)

Detected: 42 MG/L (ppm)

4/22/2025

Detected: 7.54 PH

4/22/2025

A measure of how acidic or basic the water is (7 is neutral). Affects taste and plumbing, not a direct health measure.

Calculated Parameters

Values worked out mathematically from other test results, not measured directly

Alkalinity, Bicarbonate

Detected: 74 MG/L (ppm)

4/22/2025

Other

Additional substances tested that don't fit neatly into the categories above
