1mg/L
Reported level; table range 1–1.
0.7mg/L
Reported detected level, rounded as shown in the utility table.
58.5µg/L
Locational running annual average; sample range 20.2–59.7.
The report lists an 80 µg/L limit. Compliance uses running annual averages, not a single sample.
28.6µg/L
Locational running annual average; sample range 13.7–41.4.
The report lists a 60 µg/L limit; use the stated reporting basis.
Not detected
Listed as not detected in the 2025 results.
Not detected does not mean zero; read the original report for the method and reporting limit.
6.9µg/L
90th percentile; 1 of 30 sampled homes exceeded the listed action level.
This is a sample-set statistic, not a measurement at your home.

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 ↗

A useful local question
No. Select the exact name on your bill. The authority and the city publish separate reports with different disinfectant and disinfection by-product results.
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.
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.
