Bay County Water (FL) Water Quality

Bay County Water is a large public water system in EPA region 4 that provides tap water for the 32404 zip codes. It has 5 facilities where the water supply was tested for 78 chemical contaminants that impact tap water quality and human health.

The maximum reported level of HAA5 (five regulated haloacetic acids) was 57.612 µg/L. The maximum reported level of Manganese was 1019.7 µg/L. Some (1 of 4 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 Bay County Water 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.
