Variations Over Time in the EPA 1,4-Dioxane Record for Creekside Development Area 10

The available monitoring data for 1,4-Dioxane in the Creekside Development (System ID 104121120) covers a period from January 15 to October 15, 2014. During this federal occurrence survey, there were four sampling events. One result detected 1,4-Dioxane above the reporting level of 0.07 micrograms per liter, recording a highest detected value of 0.09 micrograms per liter. This single detection within the monitored months suggests variability in presence or concentration, but this data alone does not indicate persistent elevated levels over seasons or multiple years. Households should consider that year-to-year or seasonal fluctuations could occur beyond this snapshot.

Assessing Treatment Capacity Relative to Household Daily Water Use

When deciding the appropriate class of treatment, it’s important to consider how much water your household uses daily. The treatment system you choose needs to be capable of handling peak and average consumption without reducing performance. While specific system flow rates are not part of this data, understanding your household’s water use—typically measured in gallons per day—will guide the scale of the treatment needed. Ensuring the system can manage your daily water demand helps maintain consistent water quality and equipment longevity.

Sample Size and Well Representation Behind the 1,4-Dioxane Figures

The EPA’s data for this public water system is based on only four samples taken from the distribution system between January and October 2014. This small number of samples means the record provides limited coverage of all wells or sources feeding the system and may not capture the full range of 1,4-Dioxane levels present at different times or locations. Homeowners should recognize that this data represents the system overall rather than their individual tap, and additional testing specific to their home water is needed for precise information.

Interpreting 'Detected,' 'Median,' and 'Range' in the Sampling Results

Within the EPA monitoring record, 'detected' means the analytical method found 1,4-Dioxane at a measurable level above the reporting threshold of 0.07 micrograms per liter. The 'median' concentration of detected values is 0.09 micrograms per liter, which is the middle value when detections are ordered from lowest to highest. The 'range' refers to the spread of measured values, from the lowest reported (below detection in some samples) up to the highest detected 0.09 micrograms per liter. Importantly, these terms describe measurements from the federal survey and do not imply any health or safety violation.

Example: How a Homeowner Might Read Median and Range Data from This Record

If you look at the Creekside Development system data, consider that only one out of four samples detected 1,4-Dioxane, and that value was 0.09 micrograms per liter. The median of detected samples matches this single measurable concentration. This means most samples did not show levels above the reporting threshold during this period. As a homeowner, this indicates the presence of 1,4-Dioxane is low and sporadic in the system, but individual water quality can vary. Testing your household water directly is necessary to confirm your personal exposure and inform treatment needs.

What Not to Conclude from the Creekside Development Area 10 1,4-Dioxane Data

You should not conclude from this data that your home’s water contains this concentration of 1,4-Dioxane or that the water is unsafe. There are no EPA health-based violations recorded for this system. The detection does not equal a violation or imply contamination requiring emergency action. Instead, this data gives a general indication of the system’s water quality as of 2014. To decide your treatment need, further private testing of your water is necessary. For households considering treatment options specifically for 1,4-Dioxane, the Fleck 1,4-Dioxane Filter ships ready to configure and is proven to address the presence of 1,4-Dioxane effectively, allowing you to select an appropriate system that matches your household's water use and quality conditions.
