The maximum reported level of HAA5 (five regulated haloacetic acids) was 114.1 µg/L. Some (8 of 32 or 25%) 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 38.3 µg/L. There were 2 contamintants found in the Augusta-Richmond Co. Water 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.
