Terms And Definitions Used In The Above Data Table
Turbidity
-- Turbidity is a measure of the cloudiness of water.We
monitor it because it is a good indicator of the effectiveness
of our plant's filtration system.
NTU
-- (Nephelometric Turbidity Unit)--A unit of measurement
of turbidity in water.
/100
ml -- (Per 100 milliliters)--Number of bacterial
colonies per one hundred milliliters of a water sample.
ug/L
-- Microgram per liter or one part per billion
mg/L
-- Milligram per liter or one part per million
ND
-- Not Detected
**
-- Total VOC not including TTHM
