Allen County Water District (KY) Water Quality

Allen County Water District is a large public water system in EPA region 4 that provides tap water for the 42120, 42164 zip codes. It has 4 facilities where the water supply was tested for 68 chemical contaminants that impact tap water quality and human health.

The maximum reported level of alpha-hexachlorocyclohexane was 0.0104 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 dimethipin was 2.81 µg/L. The maximum reported level of ethoprop was 0.21 µg/L. The maximum reported level of HAA5 (five regulated haloacetic acids) was 82.4 µg/L. Some (2 of 16 or 13%) 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 13.1 µg/L. The maximum reported level of oxyfluorfen was 0.0558 µg/L. The maximum reported level of profenofos was 0.848 µg/L. Some (1 of 6 or 17%) of the latest water samples showed levels of profenofos that were at or above unsafe concentration levels. The maximum reported level of tebuconazole was 1.96 µg/L. The maximum reported level of Total Permethrin was 0.0437 µg/L. The maximum reported level of tribufos was 0.139 µg/L. There were 10 contamintants found in the Allen County Water District water supply at levels that were above the minimum reporting level. 3 of the contaminants were above the reference level, which means they may pose a risk to human health.
