Fitzgerald (GA) Water Quality

Fitzgerald is a large public water system in EPA region 4 that provides tap water for the 31750 zip codes. It has 5 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 2.5 µg/L. The maximum reported level of Manganese was 22.3 µg/L. There were 2 contamintants found in the Fitzgerald water supply at levels that were above the minimum reporting level.
