The current Consumer Confidence Report has been posted here on the website for 2023. All of the chemicals we tested are within acceptable limits. You may notice that we have PFAS results on our report for the first time ever. Last year was the first time we were able to test for these compounds. The PFAS level in 2023 reported, 6.21 ng/l, is below the state regulatory limit called the state action level, 15 ng/l. In May of this year, EPA proposed a new national maximum limit for PFAS of 4 ng/l, but that regulation is still is the proposal stage and is not yet final. Fortunately, however, when we retested our water in June of this year, the PFAS level had dropped to 2.86 ng/l, below even the new proposed EPA limit and far below the state action limit. Therefore, the level of PFAS in our water is below even the strictest maximum level proposed for the protection of human health. We feel confident that our district continues to provide safe and healthy drinking water for all our customers.
