Below is a list of contaminants tested for but were not found or were below detection level in ACRWD’s water.

 

Microbiological

 

 

In 2006, ACRWD tested 180 system samples, which the Ohio EPA requires, for coliform bacteria and E-coli. We also tested 50 special samples which consist of boil advisories and/or new line construction. We also tested 156 samples for the local villages. All samples tested negative for the above specified bacteria.

Definitions Of Some Terms Contained Within This Report

Maximum Contaminant Level Goal (MCLG):

The level of a contaminant in 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 allowed in drinking water. MCL's are set as close to MCLG’s as feasible using the best available treatment technology.

Parts Per Million (ppm)or Milligrams Per Liter (mg/L) are units of measure for concentration of a contaminant. A part per million corresponds to one second in a little over 11.5 days.

Parts Per Billion (ppb) or Micrograms Per Liter (ug/L)  are units of measure for a concentration of a contaminant. A part per billion corresponds to one second in 31.7 years.

Action Level (AL): The concentration of a contaminant which, if exceeded, triggers treatment or other requirements which a water system must follow.

The symbol < as used in this report stands for less than.

BDL:  Below Detection Level
