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 is an enforceable contaminant limit; MRDL is a disinfectant limit. A secondary guideline concerns aesthetics. TTHM/HAA5 compliance uses locational running annual averages; read the utility’s notices as well as individual results.
PFAS results are compound-specific. Source monitoring, entry-point samples and tap tests are different. A detected result does not identify every PFAS compound or establish the level at your home.

More about your local water
This guide follows the Southern Indiana Operations system rather than assuming the Clark County line is a utility boundary. Select the provider shown on your bill.
The reported hardness supports planning for scale control. TTHMs and individual PFAS compounds are separate treatment considerations, with different measurement bases and performance requirements.
A useful local question
No. It summarizes Indiana American Water’s Southern Indiana Operations. A different utility or private well needs its own report or test, even when the address is in the same county.
We keep each utility’s results separate, show the reported sample year, and distinguish averages, maxima and tap-sampling percentiles. Hardness classifications use USGS ranges. Missing data stays unknown.
