Results for Unregulated Contaminated Monitoring Rule-3 (UCMR-3)
As part of the Village's requirements from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), routine tests are conducted to document the quality of our drinking water.  These requirements include testing for various elements not currently regulated, but typically present in safe drinking water.  The data is utilized by the EPA to assist in determining whether future regulations are required on different elements. 

The results of the Village of Cary's water quality tests indicate that only four (4) of the 21 compounds and metals tested were detected.  These four metals and compounds can occur naturally in the environment and the EPA continues to consider the Village's drinking water to be safe. 

Additional information can be found on the EPA website regarding these EPA tests for Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring.
