The City of Buckhannon Water Department was required by the EPA to participate in a monitoring program titled the Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Rule 5, according to a press release from the city.
The purpose of this rule is to determine if there is a need for the EPA to add additional contaminants to its monitoring program. This is the fifth series of UCMR testing that the Buckhannon system has participated in over the years.
Sampling took place over the four quarters of 2024, and city officials said they are very pleased with the results. All items analyzed were less than the Minimum Reporting Limit (MRL). In other words, all items were below detectable limits.
