Southern Water & Sewer District is a large public water system in EPA region 4 that provides tap water for the 41601, 41604, 41612, 41616, 41622, 41631, 41636, 41643, 41647, 41650, 41651, 41655, 41666, 41667 zip codes. It has 5 facilities where the water supply was tested for 78 chemical contaminants that impact tap water quality and human health.

The maximum reported level of 1-butanol was 8.38 µg/L. The maximum reported level of HAA5 (five regulated haloacetic acids) was 32.9 µg/L. The maximum reported level of Manganese was 8.89 µg/L. There were 3 contamintants found in the Southern Water & Sewer District water supply at levels that were above the minimum reporting level.
