I just got back my report from Ward Laboratories and wanted to share. It's very similar to another post on here for Charlotte's Highland Creek area. This isn't too surprising as I've heard that my water in Union County may come from Mecklenburg Co. (Charlotte). This report definitely shows results from the Yadkin River Basin regardless of which municipality provides it.
