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.

Source water. Terre Haute uses groundwater from three vertical wells and a horizontal radial collector well beside the Wabash River.

More about your local water
Terre Haute’s wells are beside the Wabash River, but the report identifies the supply as groundwater. The listed plant and distribution results belong to that utility system.
Lead and copper percentiles were below the report’s action levels while some individual homes were above them. Include the service line and household plumbing in any address-specific assessment.
A useful local question
A softener is intended for hardness minerals and scale. Choose the filter separately for documented chloramine reduction, then use incoming hardness and household flow to size the installation.
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.
