MCLG:MAXIMUM CONTAMINANT LEVEL GOAL:The level NA:Not applicable NTU:Nephelometric Turbidity Units.Turbidity is a measure of
of a contaminant in drinking water below which there is no ND:Not detected the cloudiness of the water.We monitor it because it is a good
known or expected risk to health.MCLGs allow for a margin of indicator of the effectiveness of our filtration system.

MCL:MAXIMUM CONTAMINANT LEVEL:The highest level MNR:Monitoring not required,but recommended. minerals in the water.
of a contaminant that is allowed in drinking water.MCLs are set
as close to the MCLGs as feasible using the best available treat- PPM parts per million or milligrams per liter(mg/1) PH:pH units
ment technology. 1 PPB:parts per billion or micrograms per liter(pg/1) LI:Langlier index
TT:TREATMENT TECHNIQUE:A required process intended PCI/L:picocuries per liter(a measure of radioactivity) %OF MONTHLY POSITIVE SAMPLES:Percent of samples
to reduce the level of a contaminant in drinking water. taken monthly that were found to be positive
AL:ACTION LEVEL:The concentration of a contaminant
which,if exceeded,triggers treatment or other requirements
which a water system must follow.
