Dear Sir,
We have the following to report on the sample submitted to this Laboratory on July 14, 1998.
Sample Number: 41257
Mark: water sample collected on 7/13/98 by Michael Cunningham from
Lot No. -, 101 Maskel Rd., South Windsor,Ct.
CURRENT TEST MAXPAUM CONTAMINATION
TEST PARAMETERS RESULTS LEVELS
(in m ) (MCL's)
ODOR None NO MCL
COLOR 0 NO MCL
TURBIDITY 0 NO MCL
H 6.90 NO MCL
NITRITE NITROGEN <0.001 1.0
NITRATE NITROGEN 2.50 10.0
CHLORIDE 18 250
HARDNESS 60 NO MCL
IRON <0.05 NO MCL
MANGANESE <0.01 NO MCL

All parameters analyzed are below Maximum Contamination Levels(MCL's)for potable water
and meet the requirements established by the Conn. State Health Dept. If there are any questions
we would be pleased to discuss them with you.
Very truly yours,

/ 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 ranqes from
0 - 14. A pH of 7 is neutral , < 7 is acidic, ; 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
indicates the presence of iron.
INORGANIC PARAMETERS
NIRITE NITROGEN; MCL 1.0 mq/L - An intermediate breakdown
product of orqanic matter. See nitrate comment.
NITRATE NITROGEN; MCL 10.0 mq/L. - The 'final completely
oxidized staqe of nitrogen. Levels above 10 are known
to be harmful to infants. Pregnant/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; HCL none - A measure of the total calcium and
maqnesium 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 amount
of soap necessary to form suds with water. Hiqh levels '
may also increase scalinq 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 occurrinq
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 occuring substance in
water, levels above 250 mq/L may inpart a bitter taste
sand render a laxative .effect.
SODIUM; MCL none - A notification level of 28 mq/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 listinq
of the individual chemical MCL. VOC's are a qas chro-
matographic "scaff'Of 58 compounds. This list was de-
termined by the, Ccinngticut State Department of Health.
These compounds include some of the more commonly .found
ground water contaminates.
