Fayette County (GA) Water Quality

Fayette County is a large public water system in EPA region 4 that provides tap water for the 30214, 30215, 30290 zip codes. It has 8 facilities where the water supply was tested for 78 chemical contaminants that impact tap water quality and human health.

The maximum reported level of 1-butanol was 3.2 µg/L. The maximum reported level of HAA5 (five regulated haloacetic acids) was 64.6 µg/L. Some (2 of 32 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 16.1 µg/L. There were 3 contamintants found in the Fayette County 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.
