  • No detections of styrene-acrylonitrile (SAN) trimer or trichloroethylene
  • Usual presence of chemical by-products of chlorine disinfection (including chloroform, bromodichloromethane, dibromochloromethane, and bromoform) at less than 1 microgram per liter (µg/l)
  • Occasional detection of methyl tertiary-butyl ether (MTBE) at less than 1 µg/l

    Wells 24 and 44

  • Sampled monthly April 2000 through December 2000 (except well 44 no sampled November and December 2000)
  • No detections of SAN trimer or trichloroethylene
  • Chloroform, MTBE and methylene chloride occasionally detected at less than 1 µg/l

    Wells 22 and 29

  • Untreated and treated water monitored quarterly (April, July and October 2000)
  • No detections of SAN trimer or trichloroethylene
  • Chloroform and MTBE continue to be present at low levels in untreated well 22 water at less than 1 µg/l
  • No detections of SAN trimer in treated water from wells 22 or 29; chloroform and MTBE detected in treated water at less than 1 µg/l
