NTU Ratings
Good
Newborns (0 - 6 months) and the immunocompromised (persons with HIV, undergoing
chemotherapy or other medical treatments which significantly compromise the immune system)
are advised to consume boiled water.
Fair
Newborns (0-6) months and immunocompromised persons (persons with HIV, undergoing
cancer chemotherapy, or other medical treatments which significantly compromise the immune
system) are advised to consume boiled water. As turbidity increases through the range,
disinfection with chlorine becomes more difficult and trihalomethane production may increase.
Increased turbidity also increases the potential of Giardia and Cryptosporidia to be present
in the water. If afflicted by water-borne disease, preschool children and the elderly may be
at greater risk of complications such as dehydration.
Poor
Newborns (0 - 6 months) and the immunocompromised (persons with HIV, undergoing
chemotherapy or other medical treatments which significantly compromise the immune system)
are advised to consume boiled water. Water becomes visibly cloudy. This condition can occur
several times per year either during freshet (spring runoff) or after an extreme weather event.
Disinfection is compromised, risk of illness is increased, and a high potential exists for
trihalomethane production. All users wishing additional protection should boil drinking
water or use an alternate supply.
