Summary
The triennial report shows a few chemicals above the state's public health goals (like hexavalent chromium) but all below enforceable limits — and staff stressed Woodland's water is 99% treated Sacramento River surface water. Staff also debunked viral claims and softener-sales pitches about water safety and hardness.
