Contaminants detected above federal limits
Your utility's own 2023 water report disclosed the following levels. Utilities have until 2029 to comply with new federal limits.

Lead & copper — tested at your tap
Lead
2 mg/L ×133.3
What is it?
Lead in drinking water almost always comes from your home's plumbing — not from the water source or treatment plant. Lead pipes, solder, and brass fixtures can leach lead, especially if water sits in pipes for hours.
Why it matters
There is no safe level of lead exposure. Even low levels can harm children's brain development, and cause kidney and blood pressure problems in adults. The action level of 15 µg/L is a regulatory trigger, not a safety threshold.
What to do
Run your tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before drinking, especially in the morning. Use cold water for cooking and formula — hot water leaches more lead. A filter certified to NSF/ANSI 53 for lead removal is the most reliable protection.
Copper
0.19 mg/L
What is it?
Leaches from copper household plumbing and pipes. Some copper is a normal part of drinking water infrastructure.
Why it matters
Short-term exposure above the action level of 1.3 mg/L can cause gastrointestinal distress. Long-term exposure can cause liver and kidney damage. At typical detected levels (well below the AL), copper is not a health concern.
What to do
If above the action level, run your tap for 30 seconds before drinking. Copper levels decrease as water flows through the pipes.

No additional information available for this contaminant.
No US limit — WHO recommendation
Chlorate (7)
106 µg/L
What is it?
A byproduct of water disinfection with chlorine dioxide, and a contaminant from some herbicides.
Why it matters
No federal MCL. The WHO guideline is 700 µg/L. Chlorate may interfere with thyroid function at high levels.
What to do
No action needed at typical detection levels.
