Water Quality Data table

The table below lists all of the drinking water contaminants that we detected during the calendar year of this report. The presence of contaminants in the water does not necessarily indicate that the water poses a health risk. Unless otherwise noted, that data presented in this table is from testing done in the calendar year of the report. The EPA or the State requires us to monitor for certain contaminants less than once per year because the concentrations of these contaminants do not frequently change.

Terms and Abbreviations used below:

MCLG: Maximum Contaminant Level Goal: The level of a contaminant in drinking water below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MCLG's allow for a margin of safety.

MCL: Maximum Contaminant Level: The highest level of a contaminant that is allowed in drinking water.

MCL's are set as close to the MCLG's as feasible using the best available treatment technology.

AL:Action Level: The concentration of a contaminant, which if exceeded, triggers treatment or other requirements that a water system must follow.

Due to excellent results on previous testing the following was requested:
A Synthetic Organic Contaminants (SOC) waiver was requested in 2007.
A Dioxin waiver was requested in 2007.
An Asbestos waiver was requested in 2008.
Lead and Copper testing is required every three years. The test results were given to the
individual homeowners. The results listed are the 90th percentile results.
