How Lonoke Waterworks compares to EPA limits

Chlorine residual 5 mg/L (MRDL โ€” Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level) (EXCEEDS LIMIT)
0 EPA Limit: 4 mg/L (MRDL โ€” Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level)
Irritation & DBP formation at high levels; protective at normal treatment levels

What This Means For You

Chlorine residual at 5 mg/L (MRDL โ€” Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level) exceeds the EPA maximum of 4 mg/L (MRDL โ€” Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level). Irritation & DBP formation at high levels; protective at normal treatment levels. Consider granular activated carbon (GAC) filtration.
