Inorganic Contaminants Units MCLG MCL Average Level Detected Range Year Violation Yes/No Average Level Detected Range Year Violation Yes/No Typical Source of Contaminant
Arsenic ppb n/a 10 6 3 - 8 2010 NO 5 nd - 13 2010 NO Erosion of natural deposits; runoff from orchards; runoff from glass and electronics production wastes.
Arsenic: While your drinking water meets EPA’s standard for arsenic, it does contain low levels of arsenic. EPA’s standard balances the current understanding of arsenic’s possible health effects against the cost of removing arsenic from drinking water. EPA continues to research the health effects of low levels of arsenic which is a mineral know to cause cancer in humans at high concentrations and is linked to other health effects such as skin damage and circulatory problems.

What is the source of my drinking water?
The source of the PAC/Locke Lake Water System is seven wells.  Treatment currently consists of arsenic removal at the Airstrip pump station.  The Peacham Road pump station currently has arsenic removal and chlorine to kill bacteria.
