Please see the table below to determine which items failed. Following the table is a brief explanation describing the significance of the failure and whether treatment may be required. ND=Non-Detected. MCL: The maximum level at which a constituent may be present and be considered acceptable for potability or aesthetics. Primary: Items listed as primary are regulated because of health concerns. If there is a failure for a primary constituent treatment is normally required. Secondary: Items listed as secondary are regulated because they may adversely affect the taste, odor or appearance of drinking water. They are not directly health related. If there is a failure for a secondary constituent on a small public water system it is best to consult your regulator to determine if treatment is required. A secondary constituent failure for a private water system does not require treatment. However, the owner may wish to treat the water in order to improve the quality. Treatment: If your water requires treatment we suggest that you contact a qualified water treatment company. They are normally listed in the yellow pages under the following topics: Water Purification & Filtration Equipment Water Softening & Conditioning Equipment Water Treatment Equipment Health Effects Language Nitrate Infants below the age of six months who drink water containing nitrate in excess of the MCL may quickly become seriously ill and, if untreated, may die because high nitrate levels can interfere with the capacity of the infants blood to carry oxygen. Symptoms include shortness of breath and blueness of the skin. High nitrate levels may also affect the oxygen -carrying ability of the blood of Pregnant women.
