Contaminants found

Metals
Naturally occurring or corrosion-related elements, e.g. lead, arsenic, copper
Lead Summary
Detected: 0 mg/L (ppm)
12/31/2025
Copper, Free
Detected: 51 UG/L (ppb)
8/6/2025
Combined Uranium
Detected: 1.5 PCI/L
9/11/2025
A naturally occurring radioactive metal. Long-term exposure above the legal limit is associated with kidney effects and increased cancer risk.
Iron
Detected: 84 UG/L (ppb)
7/10/2025
Mostly an aesthetic issue (metallic taste, staining) rather than a health concern at typical levels.
Chromium, Hex
Detected: 18 UG/L (ppb)
9/18/2025
Chromium
Detected: 19 UG/L (ppb)
9/11/2025
Occurs in two forms — trivalent (an essential nutrient in trace amounts) and hexavalent (linked to increased cancer risk).
Barium
Detected: 270 UG/L (ppb)
9/11/2025
Arsenic
Detected: 3.2 UG/L (ppb)
9/11/2025
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: 15 UG/L (ppb)
9/11/2025
Disinfection Byproducts
Formed when chlorine used to disinfect water reacts with organic matter
Totalhaloaceticacids (HAA5)
Detected: 3.1 UG/L (ppb)
7/10/2025
TTHM
Detected: 21 UG/L (ppb)
8/7/2025
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: 16 UG/L (ppb)
8/7/2025
One of the individual trihalomethane disinfection byproducts, formed when chlorine reacts with organic matter.
Bromodichloromethane
Detected: 4 UG/L (ppb)
