Borden Tri-County Region (IN) Water Quality

Borden Tri-County Region is a large public water system in EPA region 5 that provides tap water for the 47106, 47124, 47165 zip codes. It has 4 facilities where the water supply was tested for 53 chemical contaminants that impact tap water quality and human health.

The maximum reported level of alpha-hexachlorocyclohexane was 0.016 µg/L. Some (1 of 6 or 17%) of the latest water samples showed levels of alpha-hexachlorocyclohexane that were at or above unsafe concentration levels. The maximum reported level of HAA5 (five regulated haloacetic acids) was 52.65 µg/L. The maximum reported level of Manganese was 69.8 µg/L. There were 3 contamintants found in the Borden Tri-County Region 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.
