City of Plaquemine Water (LA) Water Quality

City of Plaquemine Water is a large public water system in EPA region 6 that provides tap water for the 70764, 70765 zip codes. It has 8 facilities where the water supply was tested for 69 chemical contaminants that impact tap water quality and human health.

The maximum reported level of 1-butanol was 10.3 µg/L. The maximum reported level of HAA5 (five regulated haloacetic acids) was 2.9 µg/L. The maximum reported level of Manganese was 386 µg/L. Some (1 of 4 or 25%) of the latest water samples showed levels of Manganese that were at or above unsafe concentration levels. There were 3 contamintants found in the City of Plaquemine 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.
