Nitrate at Auburn Water System

Florida · system FL1460035 · serves 22,903 people

Band placed by this system's most recent reported result within a rolling three-year window. That result was a non-detect — the ranked value of 0.0125 is half the reported limit, a convention, not a measurement.

A single reading is not a complete account of what a household drinks, so the three-year range and the number of tests behind it are shown too — a reading backed by many tests over three years is a fuller picture than one from a single sample.

Where this ranks

This system's nitrate sits near the low end nationally. Systems reporting less serve about 2% of everyone on NitrateSmart's tracked supply; the other about 98% are on systems reporting the same or more. That compares what systems reported, not what comes out of any one tap.

What "Natural background" means

This system's nitrate sits within the range that occurs naturally in groundwater[1]. There is no sign of a human fingerprint in the water. It is a statement about the source, not a clean bill of health — nitrate is only one thing a water test looks at.

The bands describe how strongly human activity, read from nitrate, has marked a water source — they are not a safety verdict. More on what the numbers mean and where nitrate comes from.
