If your lab report shows uranium-radium results for your water
A laboratory test report for uranium or radium in your home water will provide a concentration figure in micrograms per liter (ug/L). In Kent County's 112CLMB aquifer area, government sampling by the U.S. Geological Survey collected 13 uranium results from six wells sampled between 2011 and 2024. These results ranged from 0.007 to 0.579 ug/L, with a median value of 0.0455 ug/L. Some of the samples were below the limit the lab could confidently report, meaning uranium was not detected in those instances.
It is important to understand that these area-wide sampling results represent water from several wells ranging from 9 to 54 feet deep. Your individual home's water could vary. To know the uranium or radium level in your own water, a private laboratory test of your household water source is necessary.
If you observe water issues that might relate to uranium or radium
Typical household water symptoms such as unusual color, taste, or odor are not directly linked to uranium or radium presence. These elements do not cause visible or sensory changes in water at the concentrations typically detected in Kent County. Hence, the absence of these symptoms does not guarantee the absence of uranium or radium, and their presence often cannot be inferred from aesthetic water qualities alone.
If you want to understand the strength of the data and what a small number of samples means
The government dataset includes only a limited number of samples — 13 total in several wells across the area over more than a decade. This allows for a general overview but leaves room for variability in untested locations or depths within the aquifer. Sampling over a 13-year span captures some timeline of fluctuations but may not reflect short-term or seasonal changes that could occur.
If you operate a commercial or industrial facility in addition to a household
Commercial or industrial water users need to consider additional factors such as water volume use, processes sensitive to uranium or radium, and treatment system capacity larger than typical household needs. Regular monitoring with more frequent testing and data on water chemistry interactions is advisable. Unlike a household, process water quality demands and discharge regulations may impose further requirements.
If you are considering treatment options for uranium and radium
Uranium and radium in water can be addressed by specialized water treatment technology designed to reduce their concentrations to desired levels. The C-Series Uranium & Radium System is engineered specifically for this purpose, with a grain capacity of 32,000, providing effective treatment for residential water supplies. This system ships ready to configure for household use, offering a documented solution to reduce uranium and radium where present.
If you wonder about changes over time in uranium and radium levels
The government samples were taken over a span from 2011 to 2024. This timeframe shows some variability with uranium detected in six samples and below detection in seven, indicating natural fluctuations or changes in sampling conditions. Seasonal or multi-year variations may affect uranium presence, so a single test may not fully represent long-term water quality at a given household.
If well depth or source type might influence uranium and radium levels
Sampled wells in this area ranged from 9 to 54 feet deep. Uranium concentrations can vary with well depth and aquifer characteristics. Shallower wells may show different uranium levels compared to deeper ones, depending on groundwater flow and mineral composition. Knowing your well specifics helps interpret potential uranium or radium presence but does not replace direct water testing.
In summary, the U.S. Geological Survey data for Kent County's 112CLMB aquifer indicates uranium presence varies but remains below any federal thresholds in sampled wells. To determine your household water's uranium or radium concentration, arrange for a private water test. If elevated levels are found or expected, the C-Series Uranium & Radium System offers a targeted treatment option tailored to household demand and water chemistry conditions.
Where this information comes from
Source: USGS groundwater sampling. Sampled 2024-07-30. These figures describe groundwater sampled in this area. They are not a test of any individual private well - only a test of that well can establish its own water.
On record: U.S. Geological Survey sampling of Uranium in the 112CLMB aquifer (Kent County): 13 results from 6 wells, median 0.0455 ug/L, range 0.007-0.579 ug/L; none above any federal threshold
