Your utility publishes a water quality report every year, and it is worth understanding. Here is the Champaign guide.
The contaminants
The report lists detected substances and compares each to the legal limit.
The units
Results use parts per million or parts per billion — tiny amounts, so context matters.
The action level
An action level means a substance needs attention, not that the water is unsafe at every tap.
The call
If a number worries you, test your own tap. Call 888-217-3585 and Champaign Plumbing Helpers will match you with a Champaign pro.
