    Just check ammonia in my tap water 1-2 ppm?

    I just refilled my tank and added just a few drops of ammonia. The test was way off the chart. So I test my tap water. Its showing 2ppm. I'm using a liquide test kit and it checks out ok testing my other tank. Is this very common? Does the water company add every once in a while to treat the system?
