Report Context

Context attributed to the source report

These summaries are limited to the named annual report and do not assert live system, compliance, or advisory status.

Report identity

The six-page official source is the City of Danbury Spring 2026 Water Quality Report for DANBURY WATER DEPARTMENT, PWSID CT0340011.

Source water and treatment context

The report names West Lake, Margerie, East Lake, Padanaram, Upper and Lower Kohanza, Boggs Pond, Lake Kenosia, and Kenosia Well Field. It says treatment occurs at West Lake and Margerie plants and attributes source-assessment ratings to Connecticut DPH.

Operations and reader context

The report describes treatment, daily monitoring, distribution infrastructure, lead-service-line inventory work, conservation, public participation, and utility contacts. These are source-attributed annual-report context, not current-status determinations.

Contaminant scope and current-status boundary

The report describes detected-only table scope and directs readers to official utility, state, EPA, and public-health sources for current updates; annual-report rows remain report-period evidence.

Table definitions and scope

The report defines MCL, MCLG, treatment technique, action level, and unit abbreviations, and says its tables contain detected contaminants from the stated test period.

Definitions printed in this report

MCL
Maximum Contaminant Level, as defined in the report.
MCLG
Maximum Contaminant Level Goal, as defined in the report.
TT
Treatment Technique, as defined in the report.
AL
Action Level, as defined in the report.
NA / ND / ppm / ppb / ppt
Unit and missing-value abbreviations printed in the report.

Report Disclosures

Source-period disclosures kept separate from live status

These items preserve report wording and scope. They do not create violation records, advisory records, or a current-status conclusion.

Source limitation

Report-period scope

The report tables describe 2025 testing unless a row identifies another test year. Printed status cells are retained only as source-period context; they do not establish current compliance, an advisory, or safety at a particular tap.

Current status is not asserted. Check official current sources for notices or instructions.

Source limitation

Secondary-limit context

The source prints Manganese at 0.064 ppm against a 0.05 ppm recommended limit and marks the recommended limit exceeded. The report labels this table secondary or non-regulated; this is not treated as a federal primary MCL or current health conclusion.

Current status is not asserted. Check official current sources for notices or instructions.

Source limitation

PFAS printed criteria

The source prints PFOA 5.0 ppt with EPA MCL 4.0 ppt and EPA MCLG 0, alongside other PFAS rows. The printed comparison is preserved without deriving a current violation, advisory, or tap-level safety conclusion.

Current status is not asserted. Check official current sources for notices or instructions.

Report-period disclosure

Current-status boundary

This annual report is not a live notice ledger. Readers should use the official utility, state, EPA, and public-health notice sources linked on the system profile for current updates; this report extraction makes no present-day safety or compliance claim.

Current status is not asserted. Check official current sources for notices or instructions.

Evidence

Official report and system source paths
