*This is the value used to determine compliance with federal standards. It sometimes is the highest value detected and sometimes is an average of
all the detected values. If it is an average, it may contain sampling results from the previous year.
Radon is a radioactive gas which is naturally occurring in some groundwater. It poses a lung cancer risk when gas is released from water into air (as
occurs during showering, bathing, or washing dishes or clothes) and a stomach cancer risk when it is ingested. Because radon in indoor air poses a
much greater health risk than radon in drinking water, an Alternative Maximum Contaminant Level (AMCL) of 4,000 picoCuries per liter may apply in
states that have adopted an Indoor Air Program, which compels citizens, homeowners, schools, and communities to reduce the radon threat from
indoor air. For states without such a program, the Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) of 300 pCi /1 may apply. Minnesota plans to adopt an Indoor
Air Program once the Radon Rule is finalized.

If present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health problems, especially for pregnant women and young children. Lead in drinking water is
primarily from materials and components associated with service lines and home plumbing. City of Brooklyn Center is responsible for providing
high quality drinking water, but cannot control the variety of materials used in plumbing components. When your water has been sitting for
several hours, you can minimize the potential for lead exposure by flushing your tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before using water for drinking
or cooking. If you are concerned about lead in your water, you may wish to have your water tested. Information on lead in drinking water, testing
methods, and steps you can take to minimize exposure is available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline or at http: / /www.epa.gov /safewater/

Some contaminants do not have Maximum Contaminant Levels established for them. These unregulated contaminants are assessed using state
standards known as health risk limits to determine if they pose a threat to human health. If unacceptable levels of an unregulated contaminant
are found, the response is the same as if an MCL has been exceeded; the water system must inform its customers and take other corrective
actions. In the table that follows are the unregulated contaminants that were detected:
