Jones County (GA) Water Quality

Jones County is a large public water system in EPA region 4 that provides tap water for the 31032, 31033, 31217 zip codes. It has 14 facilities where the water supply was tested for 68 chemical contaminants that impact tap water quality and human health.

The maximum reported level of HAA5 (five regulated haloacetic acids) was 0.268 µg/L. The maximum reported level of Manganese was 920 µg/L. Some (1 of 38 or 3%) of the latest water samples showed levels of Manganese that were at or above unsafe concentration levels. There were 2 contamintants found in the Jones 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.
