The 2021 Consumer Confidence Report
The 2021 Consumer Confidence Report (CCR) is now available. This annual report on the water quality from our wells was published June 28, 2022.
The enclosed pdf gives all of the information you need to make informed decisions about your water quality. In summary, our water continues to be excellent, although hard. The hardness was given as 391.7ppm.
The table on the last page calls out two items specifically:
Iron in wells A & B: The iron level in two of our wells exceed what’s called the “secondary maximum containment level (MCL).” This is not a concern, for two reasons: (1) The water from those wells is diluted with water from other wells with lower iron content, so the overall iron levels are well below the MCL and (2) Iron is not a health hazard, it’s just a potential cosmetic problem as it can stain sinks, fixtures and laundry, and may have an unpleasant odor. Since the water from wells A & B is diluted by the other wells, you should not experience any of the unpleasant effects.
Specific Conductance and Total Dissolved Solids: These were both high enough to require reporting, but there are no health risks associated with them. They are tested for cosmetic reasons. See the pdf for more details.
