What this means for your home

Lancaster County Water & Sewer District serves most of Lancaster County. Homes outside its lines may be on private wells.

Lancaster County Water & Sewer District's report doesn't list hardness. Most reservoir-fed systems in this region are soft, but a quick hardness test at your tap is the only way to know before anyone recommends a softener.
Lancaster County Water & Sewer District's report lists chloramine as its disinfectant. Chloramine is more stable than free chlorine, so if you want to reduce it, choose catalytic carbon certified for chloramine reduction rather than a basic chlorine filter.
Disinfection byproducts (TTHM) were 53.1 ppb against an 80 ppb limit. That's compliant; some households still prefer a margin, which NSF/ANSI 53 carbon or reverse osmosis provides.
