I know nothing of chemistry or water tests, so asking for learned opinions. Is this good safe water?

I've never noticed any off tastes or anything and always thought it was good and never seen a reason to think otherwise ... but wondered what those in the know might think.

While I use tap water for cooking and coffee, I drink bottled water that usually has gone through reverse osmosis and/or may have minerals added. But who really knows how good that bottled water is, eh.

I guess I drink bottled water rather than tap water that hasn't been heated in cooking or making coffee, for two reasons. One, I'm probably miles of piping from the water quality test site and who knows what might or might not be picked up along the way. And two, I figure they could probably test next week and maybe have entirely different result. Dunno.

Be careful about using some bottled water vs tap water. have seen stories about some bottled water was actually city tap water but had been advertised as pure spring water. .......................drill sgt.

Way below the upper allowed levels.Should be GTG.I will add that the suggested max levels of total methane (disinfectant byproducts) compounds is .1ppm but the N/A means there is no standard.
Your levels are recorded in ppb

Dibs on your guns.

You are good. I wrote these reports for 12 years. If your system has problems, they are required to report it to you. My systems reported over 30 contaminants. It depends on how large your system is on how many have to be included in your report. They have to publish This report is due July 1 every year.

Disinfected byproducts are recorded ppb.

Our city water reports all show 'at safe levels'. However, we're in a farming community and they don't test the water for nitrates or pesticides.

Based on a doctor's recommendation and other research we put in an reverse osmosis purifier tap to use for all drinking and cooking. It ended up greatly improving the flavor of the coffee and tea.

I understand but the epa recommendation not standard is .01ppm max.He is well below the recommended amount.

Nitrate and Nitride testing are required by all public systems. Maybe they neglected to put it in the report.

Thanks rtquig !!! This table was on the back of the report ...

I really hated doing these reports! I did 7 separate water quality reports for our systems.
Any questions, feel free to ask.

Thank you for your replies. I'm confident I have safe water. Thank you
