Dear Sir;
We have the following to report on the samples submitted to
this laboratory on March 11, i998.
Sample Number: 40143

Lot No. 7959 Chapel Rd. , S. Windsor, Ct
Results, mg/L MCL, mg/L
Odor none no MCL
Turbidity 50 no MCL
Color 50 no MCL
pH 8.58 no MCL
Nitrite Nitrogen < 0.001 1.0
Nitrate Nitrogen { 1 .00 10.0
Chloride (as Cl ) 3B 250
Hardness (as CaCO3) 72 no MCL
Iran (as Fe) 1.47 no MCL
Mangenese 0.01 no MCL

m 64.8 no MCL
Sulfate 32 no MCL
BACTERIOLOGICAL EXAMINATION
Number of Coliform Bacteria
per 100 mLs (membrane filter) 0 0
All parameters analyzed are below Maximum Contamination
Levels (MCL°s) for potable water. The turbidity, color and
contents are very high. If after regular use of this
e parameters do not lower, treatment may be
neces The sodium content is above the recommended 28
m LL lin) or people on low salt diets. If there are any
P �ians would be pleased to discuss them with you.

PHYSICAL PARAMETERS
ODOR; MCL = none, recommended << 2 - Scale 0 = none, 1 =
very faint, 2 = faint, 3 = distinct. 4 = decided,
5 = stronq. Good well water should be free of odor.
TURBIDITY; MCL = none, recommended < 5 - A measure of
particles in; the water, usually indicates iron.
PH; MCL = none, recommended 6.4 - 10.0 - pH ranges from
0 - 14. A pH of 7 is neutral , < 7-is acidic, 3 7 is
basic. A pH less than 6.4 is considered acidic and
may be corrosive to piping.
COLOR; MCL = none, recommended < 15 - High color usually i
indicates the presence of iron.
INORGANIC PARAMETERS
NIRITE NITROGEN; MCL 1.0 mq/L - An intermediate breakdown
product of_ organic matter. See nitrate comment.
NITRATE NITROGEN; MCL 10.0 mq/L - The final completely
oxidized staq-e of nitroqen. Levels above 10 are kn6Wn
to be harmfu`i•'to infants. Preqnant/nursinq mothers
and parents of infants should consult with a physican.
CHLORIDE; MCL 250 mq/L-.- The non-metallic portion of common
salt. Levels above 50 mq/L may indicate undesirably .
high sodium levels and it also may appreciably
increase corrosion rates. Levels above 250 mq/L inpart '
a salty taste noticeable to most people,
. HARDNESS; MCL none - A measure of the total ;calcium and
magnesium in water. Waters over 100 mq/L are described
as hard and levels over 250 mq/L are considered very
hard. The effect of hardness is to increase .the airmcunt
of soap necessary to form suds with water. Hiqh --levels
may also increase sca-linq on the inside of water pipes.
, IRON; MCL none - Above 0.3 mq/L iron may cause staininq to
laundry and fixtures. Iron is naturally occurring
water mineral due to the geology of the area,
MANGENESE; MCL none - Above 0.05 mq/L mangense may cause
staininq to laundry and fixtures. See.;iron comment
SULFATE; MCL none - A naturally occurinq substance in
water, levels above 250 mg/L may inpart a bitter taste
and render a laxative effect.
Vi
SODIUM; MCL none -•_A notification level of- 28 mq/L has been
established; for ;peclple on low salt diets, high levels
may_•incr.ease the corrosive, effect.-
ORGANIC CHEMICALS
VOLATILE ORGANIC CHEMICALS` (VOC) - see report for a list�inq ..
of the individual chemical MCL. VOC's are a qas chrry-
matograp'hic scan of 58 compounds. This list was deL.t � ,• '
