Southington Water Department (CT) Water Quality

Southington Water Department is a large public water system in EPA region 1 that provides tap water for the 06444, 06479 zip codes. It has 25 facilities where the water supply was tested for 90 chemical contaminants that impact tap water quality and human health.

The maximum reported level of HAA5 (five regulated haloacetic acids) was 41.042 µg/L. The maximum reported level of Manganese was 795 µg/L. Some (3 of 12 or 25%) of the latest water samples showed levels of Manganese that were at or above unsafe concentration levels. There were 2 contamintants found in the Southington Water Department 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.
