Herriman Water Quality
What's in Herriman's water
Radium (combined -226 & -228)
Violation on record
4 EPA violations on record (most recent 2023). Radium is a naturally radioactive element that leaches from rock into groundwater. Long-term exposure increases the risk of bone cancer and other cancers because it concentrates in bone. The federal limit covers the combined activity of radium-226 and radium-228.
Gross Beta / Photon Emitters
Violation on record
2 EPA violations on record (most recent 2022). Beta and photon emitters are radioactive contaminants that can come from natural deposits or from nuclear activity. Long-term exposure increases cancer risk. The federal limit is expressed as an annual dose rather than a simple concentration.
PFAS (forever chemicals)
Detected
Detected in the supply below the federal limit. PFAS are "forever chemicals" that don't break down and accumulate over time. Compounds found: PFHxA, PFPeA.
Water hardness
very hard
Herriman's water is very hard. Hardness isn't a health risk, but it drives scale on fixtures and water heaters, shortens appliance life, and leaves skin and hair dry.
