A detection is a measurement, not a violation and not a health finding. EPA states that UCMR 5 results do not indicate compliance or non-compliance with any limit.
Health-based violations
1 open health-based violation(s) recorded in SDWIS and not yet returned to compliance.
- MCL · contaminant code 8000 · began 2019-05-01
Hardness
Median hardness 18 mg/L as CaCO₃, measured at 3 stations serving this system across 20 results, 2015-01-15 to 2020-11-10. Measured in the water source and distribution area, not at a tap, and not in your home.
What this report cannot tell you
Every figure describes water at a sampling point: a treatment plant, an entry point to the distribution system, or a monitoring station. None of it describes water arriving at your tap. Plumbing between the two can add lead and copper, and if your home was built before 1986 a test kit tells you something no federal dataset can.
