Our City Verify testing service tests your water for the following parameters:
General Chemistry – pH, Conductivity, Color, Turbidity, Alkalinity, Hardness, Total Dissolved Solids (TDS).
Mineral Salts – Fluoride, Chloride, Nitrate, Sulfate, Sodium, Potassium, Calcium, Magnesium.
Trace Metals – Copper, Iron, Manganese, Zinc, Boron.
Heavy Metals – Arsenic, Barium, Lead.
Microbiological:
- Total coliforms: Include bacteria that are found in water that has been influenced by surface water, in human or animal waste, and in soil.
- Escherichia coli (E. coli): A the major species in the fecal coliform group. Of the five general groups of bacteria that comprise the total coliforms, only E. coli is generally not found growing and reproducing in the environment. Consequently, E. coli is considered to be the species of coliform bacteria that is the best indicator of fecal pollution and the possible presence of pathogens.
Trihalomethanes (THMs)
The most common treatment for city water is Chlorination. Chlorination does eliminate most bacteria and disease, however, Chlorine or Bromine (used in place of Chlorine) can react with other compounds to form toxic by-products known as Trihalomethanes (THMs).
Chloroform, Dibromochloromethane, Bromoform, and Bromodichloromethane.
THMs are part of a larger group of compounds called Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs). We will analysis the complete suite of VOCs along with the THMs when you order the City Verify testing service.
The Four THMs are:
- Chloroform (CAS# 67-66-3);
- Bromoform (CAS# 75-25-2);
- Bromodichloromethane (CAS# 75-27-4);
- Dibromochloromethane (CAS# 124-48-1);
For the complete list of included tests, see the City Verify testing parameters below.
