They also show the levels of those contaminants and the Environmental <br />Protection Agency's limits. Substance that we tested for but did n;a find are not included in the <br />tables. <br />We sample for some contaminants less than once a year because their levels in water are not <br />expected to change from year to year. If we found any contaminants the last time we sampled <br />for them, we included them in the tables with the detection date. <br />We may have done additional monitoring for contaminants that ai< not included in the Safe <br />Drinking Watei Act.
