Contaminants found

Metals
Naturally occurring or corrosion-related elements, e.g. lead, arsenic, copper
Lead Summary
Detected: 0 mg/L (ppm)
12/31/2023
Copper Summary
Detected: 1.5 mg/L (ppm)
01/31/1993
Iron
Detected: 82 UG/L (ppb)
9/2/2025
Mostly an aesthetic issue (metallic taste, staining) rather than a health concern at typical levels.
Manganese
Detected: 22 UG/L (ppb)
9/2/2025
Mainly a taste/staining concern at typical levels; long-term neurological research at high chronic exposure is ongoing.
Chromium, Hex
Detected: 0.91 UG/L (ppb)
2/24/2025
Arsenic
Detected: 7.4 UG/L (ppb)
9/23/2025
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: 23 UG/L (ppb)
9/3/2025
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.
Chloroform
Detected: 9.3 UG/L (ppb)
9/3/2025
One of the individual trihalomethane disinfection byproducts, formed when chlorine reacts with organic matter.
Bromoform
Detected: 1.1 UG/L (ppb)
9/3/2025
Bromodichloromethane
Detected: 7 UG/L (ppb)
9/3/2025
Dibromochloromethane
Detected: 5.4 UG/L (ppb)
9/3/2025
Inorganics
Common dissolved minerals and salts, e.g. nitrate, fluoride, chloride
Sulfate
Detected: 5.6 MG/L (ppm)
9/2/2025
Chloride
Detected: 7.4 MG/L (ppm)
9/2/2025
Fluoride
Detected: 0.3 MG/L (ppm)
9/2/2025
Often added deliberately for dental health; can also occur naturally.
Nitrate
Detected: 1.6 MG/L (ppm)
9/23/2025
Commonly from agricultural fertilizer runoff or septic systems. Above the legal limit, it's an immediate concern especially for infants.
Minerals
Everyday minerals that mainly affect taste and water hardness

Detected: 11 MG/L (ppm)
9/2/2025
Sodium
Detected: 21 MG/L (ppm)
9/2/2025

General water characteristics like pH, hardness, and cloudiness (turbidity)
Hardness, Total (ASCACO3)
Detected: 56.1 MG/L (ppm)
9/2/2025
pH
Detected: 7.83 PH
9/2/2025

PFAS & Emerging Contaminants
Human-made "forever chemicals" and other substances not yet fully regulated
Lithium
Detected: 29 µg/L (ppb)
1/16/2024
Occurs naturally in some groundwater. Not currently federally regulated in drinking water.
