What is in Our Water
As the State regulations require, we routinely test your drinking water for numerous contaminants.  These contaminants include: total coliform, turbidity, inorganic compounds, nitrate, nitrite, lead and copper, volatile organic compounds, total trihalomethanes and synthetic organic compounds.  The table presented herein depicts which compounds were detected in your drinking water.

All drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants.  The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that water poses a health risk.  More information about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the EPA's Safe Drinking Water Hotline (1-800-426-4791) or the Westchester County Health Department at 914-813-5000.

Monitoring Violations
The Water Works failed to monitor for Haloacetic Acids (HAA5's) in the second quarter of 2005.  This is a minor violation of the monitoring provisions of the New York State Sanitary Code.  The Water Works has prior and subsequent test results for HAA5's that indicate the Water Works is in compliance with the established standard.
