Our water system has sampled for a series of unregulated contaminants. Unregulated contaminants are those that don't yet have a drinking water standard set by USEPA. The purpose of monitoring for these contaminants is to help EPA decide whether the contaminants should have a standard. As our customers, you have a right to know that this data is available. If you are interested in examining the results, please contact Scott Sharp at 570-742-4501 (ext. 2222). The only detection of unregulated compounds found during our monitoring conducted between January 2008 and January 2009 was N-nitrosopyrrolidine (NPYR). The minimum reporting level for this compound is 0.002 ug/L. NPYR was found at a trace level of 0.006 ug/L.
