Results of Monitoring Unregulated Contaminants
Drinking water rules require DWS to monitor for certain unregulated contaminants. Testing detected the following unregulated contaminants.
Unregulated Radiological Contaminants
- Radon - MCL is not yet available
- Major source: erosion of natural deposits in groundwater aquifers
Unregulated Disinfection Byproducts
- Bromodichloromethane
- Bromoform
- Chloroform
- Chlorodibromomethane
For all of the above, the MCL is not yet available and the major source is a byproduct of drinking water chlorination.
