The tests were conducted during July and October of last year to find levels for chlorate, chromium, chromium-6, strontium and cobalt, its purpose for monitoring "is to help EPA decide whether the contaminants should have a public health protection standard."

According to Water Company Manager David Condrey, the levels are not high enough to be harmful, he told Milford Daily News.

Milford Water Company responded to concerns on Monday morning, postings to its Facebook page, "The postcard that was mailed out is informational only. There is nothing wrong with the drinking water."
