Naturally occurring or corrosion-related elements, e.g. lead, arsenic, copper
Lead Summary
Detected: 0.0013 mg/L (ppm)
12/31/2023
Arsenic
Detected: 16.8 UG/L (ppb)
10/7/2025
Occurs naturally in some groundwater. Long-term exposure above the legal limit (10 ppb) has been linked to increased cancer risk and cardiovascular disease.
Combined Uranium
Detected: 1.1 PCI/L
4/9/2025
A naturally occurring radioactive metal. Long-term exposure above the legal limit is associated with kidney effects and increased cancer risk.
Manganese
Detected: 25.5 UG/L (ppb)
2/25/2025
Mainly a taste/staining concern at typical levels; long-term neurological research at high chronic exposure is ongoing.
Disinfection Byproducts
Formed when chlorine used to disinfect water reacts with organic matter
TTHM
Detected: 2.8 UG/L (ppb)
1/21/2025
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.
Inorganics
Common dissolved minerals and salts, e.g. nitrate, fluoride, chloride
Nitrate
Detected: 7.33 MG/L (ppm)
10/15/2025
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
Magnesium
Detected: 11.1 MG/L (ppm)
