Dear Sir ; We have the following to report on the sample submitted to this laboratory on September "8, 1993. Sample Number : 28835 Mark : le collected 09/02/93 by Thomas Ghent. from t No. 6, Lo Linda Lane, South Windsor , Ct . Odor none Turbidity 0 Standard Units pH 7.32 Alkalinity as (CaCO3) 48 mg/L Color 0 Standard Units Ammonia Nitrogen < 0.01 mg/L Nitrite Nitrogen < 0.001 mg/L Nitrate Nitrogen < 1 .00 mg/L Chloride 9 mg/L Hardness (as CaCO3) 1200 mg/L Iron (as Fe ) < 0. 155 mg/L BACTERIOLOGICAL EXAMINATION Number of Coliform Bacteria per 100 mg/L (membrane filter ) 0 Based on the above parameters this water is classified safe for drinking . The water is considered hard since it contains a hardness well over 100 mg/L. If there are any questions we would be pleased to discuss them with you. Very truly yours, EnviroTech Laboratory Maryellen DiLuzio cc : One Enclosed . ODOR - Good well water should be free of odor. TURBIDITY - A measure of cloudiness in water, usually an indica- tor of the presence of iron. PH - (Acid!.t.y ./ AlkaljRit,y ) Acid water can corrode metal pipes . The ideal range is 7.00` ('neutral) to 8 .00 (alkaline) ,.µ ALKALINITY - A measure of the amount of bicarbon ton �WatIn- terpretation must be made in comparison with Harness. f COLOR - A quantitative measure. High color usually indicates the presence .q _ iro.r ox jcQn.taRinatign, -_ AMMONIA NITROGEN - The first breakdown product of organic matter. Levels above 0. 05 mg/l may indicate bacterial activity or .contam- ination. = NITRITE NYTROGE� - An ` ntermed.iate breakdown; product ,.of organic matter. Levels above 0. 005 mg%i may indicate bacteriai 'acitivity or contamination. NITRATE NITROGEN The 44nal completely-oxidized stage of : n, .�ro- gen. Levels abpy,., 10.0 mgf,j may be harmful tjG..j�nfants� ,� •9 �}� CHLORIDE Tie, r on-metallic portion of common salt. t f GeV l;' Obove ', . 30 mg/1 may indicate ur�.cOesa�rably high sodium level eY Ise above 50 mg/1 may 0p eciably. increase corrosion rates, ..apdJs. ' .Levels above 250 mg,/L 'inpart a �salty taste noticeable to most People. Sources of chor de are principally from road,_salt,. ., HARDNESS - A measure of the total calcium and magnesium in' ;water . Waters over 100 mg/1 are described, as .-hard .and levels over .. 250 r mg/l are usually sufficiently unde rabYe as 'to'" wa`r'rant ' treat- ment. The effect of hardness is to__ , increase. -the_amount_.of_ soap necessary to form suds with the water. IRON - A naturally-occurring water mineral . While never harmful to health , ,evels.. above 0. 30 mg/l ,may cause staining of laundry and porcelain fixtures. TOTAL, COLtFORM­BACTERIA - ,Used .as. ,an . indicator -of contamination . While they are not known to cause disease , it is' known that they are present;_; In large numbers in feces and soil . If present in water,- it . is ,.presuine'd that disease-causing organisms may also be present .
