2003 Addendum - Yearly Tap Averages

The following is a comprehensive list of the parameter the District monitored in the drinking water.  Most of them were not required to be reported by EPA's Consumer Confidence Rule in the above Drinking Water Quality Report because the parameters were either not detected in the water or, if they were detected there are no regulations or health risks associated with the parameters. 

All Concentrations are in "mg/L" or "parts per million" unless stated otherwise.
