Colbert County Rural Water (AL) Water Quality

Colbert County Rural Water is a large public water system in EPA region 4 that provides tap water for the 35616, 35653, 35672 zip codes. It has 15 facilities where the water supply was tested for 68 chemical contaminants that impact tap water quality and human health.

The maximum reported level of HAA5 (five regulated haloacetic acids) was 61.87 µg/L. Some (1 of 16 or 6%) of the latest water samples showed levels of HAA5 (five regulated haloacetic acids) that were at or above unsafe concentration levels. The maximum reported level of Manganese was 43.6 µg/L. The maximum reported level of quinoline was 0.033 µg/L. Some (1 of 26 or 4%) of the latest water samples showed levels of quinoline that were at or above unsafe concentration levels. There were 3 contamintants found in the Colbert County Rural Water water supply at levels that were above the minimum reporting level. 2 of the contaminants were above the reference level, which means they may pose a risk to human health.
