Lead & Copper Testing

Lead (Pb)

90th percentile of tap samples collected across the distribution system

14% of EPA action level

2.10 ppb

Action level: 15 ppb

Copper (Cu)

90th percentile of tap samples. SDWIS reports a copper figure only when a system exceeds the action level, so any value here is an exceedance.

177.7% of EPA action level

2,310 ppb

Action level: 1,300 ppb

The 90th-percentile lead result is 2.10 ppb, 14% of the 15 ppb federal action level. The action level is a treatment trigger, not a legal maximum, and it is measured across sampled taps rather than at any single home. Copper reached the action level here; a copper figure appears in SDWIS only when a system triggers it.

Contaminant Violations (2015–Present)

Contaminant	Type	Measured	Limit	Period	Status
E. COLI	MONITORING AND REPORTING	—	0	2016	Resolved
Lead and Copper Rule	MONITORING AND REPORTING	—	TT	2015	Unaddressed

Understanding violation types MCL violations mean a contaminant exceeded the federal maximum limit — the most serious type.
TT (Treatment Technique) violations mean required treatment procedures weren't followed, but don't necessarily mean contamination occurred.
