SMCL Secondary Maximum Contaminant Level - The highest level of a contaminant that affects the aesthetic characteristics ( taste, odor, or color) of drinking water.
NR Not Regulated - Contaminants test for but not regulated by the State or EPA.
(a) samples taken from the distribution system.
(b) samples taken from the distribution entry point.
mg/L milligrams per Liter or parts per million.
µg/L micrograms per Liter or parts per billion.
pCi/L picocuries per Liter (measure of radioactivity)
