Maximum Contaminant Level
(MCL): The highest level
of a contaminant that is allowed in drinking water. Primary MCLs are set as close to the PHGs (or MCLGs) as is
economically and technologically feasible.
Secondary MCLs are set to protect the odor, taste, and appearance of
drinking water. Primary
Drinking Water Standards (PDWS):
MCLs for contaminants that affect health along with their monitoring and
reporting requirements, and water treatment requirements. Secondary
Drinking Water Standards (SDWS): MCLs for contaminants that affect taste,
odor, or appearance of the drinking water.
Contaminants with SDWSs do not affect the health at the MCL levels. ND: not detectable at testing limit ppm: parts per million or milligrams per
liter (mg/L) ppb: parts per billion or micrograms per
liter (ug/L) ppt: parts per trillion or nanograms per
liter (ng/L) pCi/L: picocuries per liter (a measure of
radiation) Public Health Goal (PHG): The level of a contaminant in drinking water below which there is no known or expected risk to health. PHGs are set by the California Environmental Protection Agency. |
Maximum
Contaminant Level Goal (MCLG):
The level of a contaminant in drinking water below which there is no known or
expected risk to health. MCLGs are
set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA). Maximum
Residual Disinfectant Level (MRDL):
The level of a disinfectant added for water treatment that may not be
exceeded at the consumer’s tap. Maximum
Residual Disinfectant Level Goal (MRDLG): The level of a
disinfectant added for water treatment below which there is no known or
expected risk to health. MRDLGs are
set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Treatment Technique (TT):
A required process intended to reduce the level of a contaminant in
drinking water Regulatory
Action Level (AL): The
concentration of a contaminant which, if exceeded, triggers treatment or
other requirements which a water system must follow. Variances and Exemptions:
Department permission to exceed an MCL or not comply with a treatment
technique under certain conditions. |

The sources of drinking water (both tap water and bottled water) include
rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs, and wells. As water travels over the surface of the
land or through the ground, it dissolves naturally-occurring minerals and, in
some cases, radioactive material, and can pick up substances resulting from the
presence of animals or from human activity.
Contaminants that may be
present in source water include:
·
Microbial contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria, that may
come from sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock
operations, and wildlife.
· Inorganic contaminants<
