Lead Summary
Detected: 0 mg/L (ppm)
12/31/2023
Iron
Detected: 40 UG/L (ppb)
9/24/2025
Mostly an aesthetic issue (metallic taste, staining) rather than a health concern at typical levels.
Manganese
Detected: 2.2 UG/L (ppb)
9/24/2025

Chromium, Hex
Detected: 3.2 UG/L (ppb)
3/19/2025
Chromium
Detected: 10 UG/L (ppb)
9/2/2025
Occurs in two forms โ€” trivalent (an essential nutrient in trace amounts) and hexavalent (linked to increased cancer risk).
Barium
Detected: 159 UG/L (ppb)
9/24/2025
Arsenic
Detected: 2 UG/L (ppb)
9/24/2025

Disinfection Byproducts
Formed when chlorine used to disinfect water reacts with organic matter
TTHM
Detected: 4 UG/L (ppb)
9/24/2025
