The presence of these contaminants in the water does not necessarily indicate that the water poses a health risk. The State requires is to monitor for certain contaminants less than once per year because the concentrations of these contaminants are not expected to vary significantly from year to year. Some of the data, though representative of the water quality, is more than one year old. The bottom line is that the water provided to you is safe. Terms & Abbreviations Maximum Contamionant Level Goal(MCLG): The level of contaminant in the drinking water below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MCLG's allow for a margin of safety. Maximum Contaminant Level(MCL): The highest level of contaminant that is allowes in drinking water. MCL's are set close to the MCLG's to allow for a margin of safety. Action Level(AL): The concentration of a contaminant which, when exceeded, triggers treatment or other requirements which a water system must follow. N/A: not applicable.  ND:non dected at testing.  ppb: parts per billion or micrograms per liter.  ppm: parts per million or milligrams per liter.  pCi/l  picocuries per liter (a measure of radiation).
