Davis 29 Griffin Rd. Broad Brook, Ct. 06016 Dear Sir-P We have the following to report on the samples submitted to this laboratory on May 27, 1997. Sample Number: 38140 Markr water sample Collected 5/27/97 by Edwin Davis from 4ot No. 494, Niederwerfer Rd. , South Windsor} Ct.

If there are any questions we would be pleased to discuss therm with you. Very t yours, Envir ch boratory Maryellen iLuzio PH0464p PHO514 cc2 Sanitarin, South Windsor PHYSICAL PARAMETERS ODOR; MCL = 2 - Scale 0 = none, 1 = very faint, 2 = faint 3 = distinct, 4 = decided, 5 = strong. Good well water should be free of odor. TURBIDITY; MCL 5 - A measure of particles in the water, usually an indication of the presence of iron. pH; MCL 6.4 - 10.0 - pH ranges from 0 - 14. A pH of 7 is neurtal, < 7 is acidic, > 7 is basic. A pH less than 6.4 is considered acidic and may be corrosive to piping. COLOR; MCL 15 - High color usually indicates the presence of iron. INORGANIC PARAMETERS NIRITE NITROGEN; MCL 1.0 mg/L - An intermediate breakdown product of organic matter. See nitrate comment. NITRATE NITROGEN; MCL 10.0 mg/L - The final completely oxidized stage of nitrogen. Levels above 10 are known to be harmful to infants. Pregnant/nursing mothers and parents of infants should consult with a physican. CHLORIDE; MCL 250 mg/L - The non-metallic portion of common salt. Levels above 50 mg/L may indicate undesirably high sodium levels and it also may appreciably increase corrosion rates. Levels above 250 mg/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 mg/L are described as hard and levels over 250 mg/L are considered very hard. The effect of hardness is to increase the amount of soap necessary to form suds with water. High levels may also increase scaling on the inside of water pipes. IRON; MCL none - Above 0.3 mg/L iron may cause staining to laundry and fixtures. Iron is naturally occurring water mineral due to the geology of the area. MANGENESE; MCL none - Above 0.05 mg/L mangense may cause staining to laundry and fixtures. See iron comment SULFATE; MCL none - A naturally occuring substance in water, levels above 250 mg/L may inpart a bitter taste and render a laxative effect. SODIUM; MCL none - A notification level of 28 mg/L has been established for people on low salt diets, high levels may increase the corrosive effect. ORGANIC CHEMICALS VOLATILE ORGANIC CHEMICALS (VOC) - see report for a listing of the individual chemical MCL. VOC's are a gas chro- matographic scan of 58 compounds. This list was de- termined by the Conneticut State Department of Health. These compounds include some of the more commonly found ground water contaminates.
