1 DRINKING WATER CONTAMINANT LEVELS Table 1: Microorganism Indicators Maximum Level -- HVAC ea FL Sink Sink Total Coliforms 'Negative' b Negative Negative Negative Negative Negative Negative Negative Negative (including fecal coliform and E. Cob) Turbidity < Note a: Maximum Level (MCL) - The highest level of a contaminant that is allowed in drinking water. MCLs are enforceable standards. Note b: Somewhat misleading for individual water source sampling. Goal for individual source sampling would be "negative". For water systems/suppliers, no more than 5.0% samples total coliform-positive (TC-positive) in a month. (For water systems that collect fewer than 40 routine samples per month, no more than one sample can be total coliform-positive per month.) Every sample that has total coliform must be analyzed for either fecal coliforms or E. co/i. If two consecutive IC-positive samples, and one is also positive for E.coli or fecal coliforms, system has an acute MCL violation. Note C: Reported in Nephelometric Turbidity Units (NTUs). Again, misleading for single source sampling. For systems that use conventional or direct filtration, at no time can turbidity (cloudiness of water) go higher than 1 Nephelometric Turbidity Unit (NTU), and samples for turbidity must be less than or equal to 0.3 NTUs in at least 95 percent of the samples in any month. Systems that use filtration other than the conventional or direct filtration must follow state limits, which must include turbidity at no time exceeding 5 NTUs. <#44 Result was below Method Detection Limit and Reporting Limit for the #### Reportable result but below regulatory limits or recommendations. *NW Result above the Method Detection Limit but below Reporting Limit for the Result above the MCL for the analyte.

Maximum Level Goal (MCLG) - The level of a contaminant in drinking water below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MCLGs allow for a margin of safety and are nonenforceable public health goals. Note h: Milligrams per liter, equivalent to parts per million. Note e: Although there is no collective MCLG for this contaminant group, there are MCLGs for some of the individual contaminants: dichloroacetic acid; trichloroacetic acid; and monochloroacetic acid. Note d: Monobromoacetic acid and dibromoacetic acid are regulated with this group but have no individual MCLGs. Note e: Although there is no collective MCLG for this contaminant group, there are MCLGs for some of the individual contaminants: dichlorobromomethane; bromoforrn; chlorodibromomethane; and chloroform. Note f: Analyte concentration was identified above the method detection limit (MDL) but below the reporting limit (RL). Indicated concentration should be considered an estimate. Note g: Analyte concentration was identified above the method detection limit (MDL) but below the reporting limit (RL). Indicated concentration should be considered an estimate. The estimate was above the MCLG, but below the MCL. Note h: Analyte concentration was identified above the method detection limit (MDL) but below the reporting limit (RL). Indicated concentration should be considered an estimate. Although there is no MCL for this chemical, the estimated concentration is above the MCLG.

Note C: Reported as millions of fibers (longer than 10 microns) per liter. Note d: This is somewhat misleading for single source sampling. Copper is regulated by a requirement for systems (i.e., municipalities, water districts, etc.) to control the corrosiveness of their water. If more than 10% of tap water samples exceed the action level, water systems must take additional steps. For copper, the action level is 1.3 mg/l. Note e: This is somewhat misleading for single source sampling. Lead is regulated by a requirement for systems (i.e., municipalities, water districts, etc.) to control the corrosiveness of their water. If more than 10% of tap water samples exceed the action level, water systems must take additional steps. For lead, the action level is mg/l. Note f: Analyte concentration was identified above the method detection limit (MDL) but below the reporting limit (RL). Indicated concentration should be considered an estimate. The estimate was above the MCLG, but below the MCL. Note Analyte was identified using two separate methods.

Note b: Measured using Methylene Blue Active Substances methodology. Note a: Threshold Odor Number. Note d: Analyte was identified using two separate methods. Note e: Analyte was present in low concentration (i.e., above the minimum detection level but below reportable limit for the analysis). Reported value should be viewed as an estimate. Note f: The reported value is based on the Langelier Index, which is defined as the difference between actual ph (measured) and calculated phs. The magnitude and sign of the LI value show water's tendency to form or dissolve scale and thus inhibit or encourage corrosion. If the actual ph of the water is below the calculated saturation ph, the LSI is negative and the water has a very limited scaling potential. If the actual ph exceeds phs, the LSI is positive, and being supersaturated with CaCO3, the water has a tendency to form scale. At increasing positive index values, the scaling potential increases. In practice, water with an LSI between -0.5 and +0.5 will not display enhanced mineral dissolving or scale forming properties. Water with an LSI below -0.5 tends to exhibit noticeably increased dissolving abilities while water with an LSI above +0.5 tends to exhibit noticeably increased scale forming properties.
