Thomson-McDuffie Co. W&S Commission (GA) Water Quality

Thomson-McDuffie Co. W&S Commission is a large public water system in EPA region 4 that provides tap water for the 30808 zip codes. It has 3 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 58.2 µg/L. The maximum reported level of Manganese was 626 µg/L. Some (1 of 6 or 17%) of the latest water samples showed levels of Manganese that were at or above unsafe concentration levels. There were 2 contamintants found in the Thomson-McDuffie Co. W&S Commission 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.
