Heavy Metals Analysis

For drinking water supplies requiring comprehensive annual heavy metals analysis to assess potential contamination risks and ensure safe drinking water quality.

Why This Suite Is Important

Heavy metals can leach into water sources from natural deposits, industrial activities, or plumbing materials, posing serious health risks if consumed above safe levels.

  • Lead, mercury, and cadmium are known to cause neurological and developmental issues with prolonged exposure.
  • Nickel and chromium can contribute to skin irritation and allergic reactions.
  • Copper and zinc may affect water taste and appearance at elevated concentrations.

 

Regular annual testing ensures that your water supply remains free from harmful heavy metals, helping to safeguard public health and regulatory compliance.

The Maximum Acceptable Values (MAVs) and treatment limits for these determinands are:

Chemical & Physical Contaminants:

  • Antimony: 0.02 mg/L
  • Cadmium: 0.004 mg/L
  • Chromium: 0.05 mg/L
  • Copper: 2.0 mg/L
  • Lead: 0.01 mg/L
  • Mercury: 0.006 mg/L
  • Nickel: 0.08 mg/L
  • Zinc: 1.5 mg/L (Aesthetic guideline only)

 

  • 📌 If you have a Safe Supply Online Drinking Water Safety Plan, your test results can be automatically shared with the online tool, made available to members of your water supply, and scheduled for submission to the regulator as required.
  • 📌 Results must be retained for at least 5 years and made available to all members of the water supply.
  • 💬 Need Help?
