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. Read the original report for context and current utility notices. EPA PFAS benchmarks and implementation ↗

More about your local water
The Evansville utility’s 2025 average hardness is 138 ppm. A plumber can use a current incoming-water test, household flow demand and existing equipment to finalize the installation.
Filtration can be selected for disinfectant taste, odor and other documented reduction goals. Softening targets hardness minerals that cause scale. Evansville uses chloramines, so verify the exact filter’s chloramine performance as well as your incoming hardness.

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.
