FAQ
Additional Information On St. Michaels, MD Tap Water
Where does St. Michael’s tap water come from?
St. Michael’s water supply comes from two active wells drawing from the Aquia Aquifer. The wells are about 465 feet deep, and the natural layers between the surface and the aquifer help filter the water before it reaches the distribution system.
Is St. Michael’s water treated with chlorine?
Yes. The report shows a chlorine residual (listed at 0.5 ppm, with a range of 0.3–0.5 ppm). Disinfectant helps control microbes as water moves through the distribution system.
Why does my water sometimes taste or smell like chlorine?
Chlorine taste or odor can feel stronger at certain times because residual levels can vary within the distribution system, and warm weather can make taste and odor more noticeable. A point-of-use carbon filter for drinking water can help reduce chlorine taste at the tap.
What are disinfection byproducts, and are they in St. Michael’s water?
Disinfection byproducts form when disinfectants react with naturally occurring organic matter in water. The report includes HAA5 and TTHM results and shows they were within regulatory limits.
Does St. Michael’s water contain arsenic?
The report lists arsenic results (with a reported range of 0–7 ppb and a running annual average shown as 6 ppb). Arsenic can occur naturally in groundwater. If you want to reduce arsenic at the tap, the right drinking water system can be selected based on a water test.
What about lead in St. Michael’s tap water?
The report’s lead and copper section shows lead as not detected at the 90th percentile (with 0 sites over the action level). Lead is most commonly related to home plumbing materials, so results can vary by house. If your home is older or you’re concerned, a targeted test at your tap is the best next step.
Is fluoride added to St. Michael’s water?
The report lists fluoride at 0.4 ppm. Fluoride can be present naturally in groundwater and may also be present due to water treatment practices depending on the system.
Are there other regulated inorganic contaminants reported?
Yes. The report includes results for items like barium, chromium, and selenium, and shows them below the listed regulatory limits.
What is ethylene dibromide, and why is it listed?
Ethylene dibromide is listed under synthetic organic contaminants (pesticides/herbicides category in the report). It’s monitored because of potential industrial/agricultural sources. The report includes a detected value and shows it below the listed limit.
I’m seeing scale or buildup, does that mean St. Michael has hard water?
Scale is often tied to hardness minerals (calcium and magnesium). The quickest way to confirm is a simple hardness test. If hardness is elevated, a water softener can help reduce scale on fixtures, improve soap lather, and protect water-using appliances.
What’s the best filter for better-tasting drinking water in St. Michael?
For taste and odor (like chlorine), carbon filtration is a common fit. If you’re also targeting dissolved solids or specific contaminants, a reverse osmosis drinking water system may be a better match. A water test helps pick the right configuration.
Can I get my St. Michael water tested before choosing a system?
Yes. A water test helps confirm what’s coming out of your tap (including differences caused by household plumbing) and makes it easier to choose the right treatment—whether that’s a drinking water filter, reverse osmosis, or whole-home filtration/softening.
