See the amount, the comparison and what it means. “Below” refers to the stated benchmark, not zero risk.
Chlorine

Highest reported amount; range 0.9–2.3.

Reported compliance value; the report separately gives a sample range of 17.2–75.7.
The report lists an 80 µg/L limit. Compliance uses running annual averages, not a single sample.

Reported compliance value; the report separately gives a sample range of 5.3–17.7. These are different reporting statistics.
The report lists a 60 µg/L limit; use the stated reporting basis.

Your provider needs its own report.
Continue with your home details for general filtration guidance. We will not use another utility’s numbers as your result.

In drinking water, ppm ≈ mg/L, ppb ≈ µg/L and ppt ≈ ng/L. Calculated hardness in grains per US gallon (gpg) = mg/L as CaCO₃ ÷ 17.118, rounded to one decimal. ND means below the reporting limit, not zero.
MCL means a regulatory contaminant limit; MRDL is a disinfectant limit. Lead and copper use tap-sampling action levels. TTHM and HAA5 compliance is assessed using running averages at specific locations, not the highest single sample.
PFAS results depend on the compound, sample location, year and reporting limit. A missing result or nondetect is not proof of zero PFAS. EPA PFAS benchmarks and implementation ↗

What this means for your home
See Macon Water Authority’s 2025 results in its 2026 Consumer Confidence Report.

A useful local question
Does a low reported lead or chlorine result describe my tap?
Utility results summarize specific sampling programs. Household plumbing, location and sampling conditions can change tap results. Use a household test for a question about your own incoming water.
Sources and methodology
Results retain the utility, sample year, units and comparison used in the source. Hardness is shown separately as a utility measurement, utility guidance or regional estimate. USGS categories describe mineral content, not drinking-water safety.
Different name on your water bill?
Use the published report for your own retail water system. These sources can help identify the right report; a county or ZIP alone cannot confirm service.
