Note: Just because the latest incident is in 2017 or 2018 doesn't mean your water is free of contaminants! There is a considerable lag between when data is collected and when it is published by the EPA.
Haloacetic acids occur when naturally-occurring organic and inorganic materials in the water react with the disinfectants, chlorine and chloramine.
Increased risk of cancer
Coliforms are bacteria that are naturally present in the environment and used as an indicator that other, potentially harmful, bacteria may be present. Coliforms found in more samples than allowed is a warning of potential problems.
Not a health threat in itself; it is used to indicate whether other potentially harmful bacteria may be present5
