Henry County Water & Sewer Authority (GA) Water Quality

Henry County Water & Sewer Authority is a large public water system in EPA region 4 that provides tap water for the 30228, 30236, 30252, 30253, 30281 zip codes. It has 5 facilities where the water supply was tested for 85 chemical contaminants that impact tap water quality and human health.

The maximum reported level of alpha-hexachlorocyclohexane was 0.015 µg/L. Some (1 of 12 or 8%) of the latest water samples showed levels of alpha-hexachlorocyclohexane that were at or above unsafe concentration levels. The maximum reported level of ethoprop was 0.041 µg/L. The maximum reported level of HAA5 (five regulated haloacetic acids) was 39.89 µg/L. The maximum reported level of Manganese was 73.4 µg/L. There were 4 contamintants found in the Henry County Water & Sewer Authority 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.
