For regulated contaminants, 90% of the water utility levels were less than .0257 parts per million per liter for copper and less than 5.98 parts per billion for lead. The action level for copper is 1.3 parts per million, and the action level for lead is 15 parts per billion. No sites were over the action level for copper, but one was over the action level for lead. The typical source of copper and lead is corrosion of household plumbing systems.
