The maximum reported level of 1-butanol was 9.79 µg/L. The maximum reported level of 2-methoxyethanol was 3.94 µg/L. The maximum reported level of HAA5 (five regulated haloacetic acids) was 57.4 µg/L. The maximum reported level of Manganese was 84 µg/L. The maximum reported level of profenofos was 0.588 µg/L. Some (1 of 16 or 6%) of the latest water samples showed levels of profenofos that were at or above unsafe concentration levels. The maximum reported level of Total Permethrin was 0.0491 µg/L. There were 6 contamintants found in the Western Pulaski Co. Water District 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.
