Characteristics of water with excess Aluminum (Al):
Excess Aluminum in water can cause water coloration and metallic deposits in pipes. Read more from the US EPA.
Characteristics of water with excess Iron (Fe):
Rusty color; sediment; metallic taste; reddish or orange staining. Read more from the US EPA.
Characteristics of water with excess Manganese (Mn):
black to brown color; black staining; bitter metallic taste. Read more from the US EPA.
About this data: This data was collected by the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and published by the US Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) between 1994 and 2000. All raw data displayed on this website is in the public domain. An indication of "NA" for a particular contaminant means that contaminant was not tested for. The limits cited come from US EPA Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCLs). For those contaminants which do not have EPA MCLs (as indicated by a star), the preliminary remediation goals of the USACE availble were used instead. Information about health effects is derived from US government websites, to learn more, click the link next to each one. Please Note: Navajo Nation policy is that livestock-use-only wells are not to be used for human drinking water. Additionally, this website does not contain information about other possible contaminants this water source may have, such as E coli and various bacteria.
Raw Data
"MCL" stands for Maximum Contaminant Level, the highest allowable amount of a given contaminant in public drinking
water, as set by the US EPA. For those contaminants which do not have EPA MCLs (as indicated by a star), the preliminary
remediation goals of the US Army Corps of Engineers were used instead.
