Rather these elements are leached from your household water piping and fixtures. Additionaly your Water Department has voluntarily sampled for Giardia cysts and Cryptosporidium oocysts in our raw water supply prior to disinfection . Results are listed in table below. Some people who drink water containing THMs in excess of the MCL over many years may experience problems with their liver, kidneys, and central nervous systems, and may have increased risk in getting cancer. Note that your drinking water TTHMs are far less than the MCL .
Samples are of untreated water .
As can be seen on the tables, our water system had no violations of the MCLs. We are proud that your drinking water meets or exceeds all Federal and State requirements.
