Violations on file

Selenium
Older/archived health-based violation
Found at 1 of 5 providers

Contaminants found

Metals
Naturally occurring or corrosion-related elements, e.g. lead, arsenic, copper
Lead Summary
Detected: 0 mg/L (ppm)
Found at 4 providers
Chromium, Hex
Detected: 18 UG/L (ppb)
Found at 3 providers
Arsenic
Detected: 6.6 UG/L (ppb)
Found at 2 providers
Occurs naturally in some groundwater. Long-term exposure above the legal limit (10 ppb) has been linked to increased cancer risk and cardiovascular disease.
Iron
Detected: 84 UG/L (ppb)
Found at 2 providers
Mostly an aesthetic issue (metallic taste, staining) rather than a health concern at typical levels.
Aluminum
Detected: 52 UG/L (ppb)
7/2/2025
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.
Chromium
Detected: 19 UG/L (ppb)
9/11/2025
Occurs in two forms โ€” trivalent (an essential nutrient in trace amounts) and hexavalent (linked to increased cancer risk).
Barium
Detected: 270 UG/L (ppb)
9/11/2025
Selenium
Detected: 15 UG/L (ppb)
9/11/2025

TTHM
Detected: 21 UG/L (ppb)
Found at 2 providers
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.
