Mobile County Water & Fire Protection Auth. (AL) Water Quality

Mobile County Water & Fire Protection Auth. is a large public water system in EPA region 4 that provides tap water for the 36523, 36544, 36590 zip codes. It has 17 facilities where the water supply was tested for 75 chemical contaminants that impact tap water quality and human health.

The maximum reported level of HAA5 (five regulated haloacetic acids) was 27.886 µg/L. The maximum reported level of Manganese was 110 µg/L. The maximum reported level of quinoline was 0.0351 µg/L. Some (1 of 16 or 6%) of the latest water samples showed levels of quinoline that were at or above unsafe concentration levels. There were 3 contamintants found in the Mobile County Water & Fire Protection Auth. water supply at levels that were above the minimum reporting level. 1 of the contaminants were above the reference level, which means they may pose a risk to human health.
