Bastrop Water (LA) Water Quality

Bastrop Water is a large public water system in EPA region 6 that provides tap water for the 71220 zip codes. It has 8 facilities where the water supply was tested for 75 chemical contaminants that impact tap water quality and human health.

The maximum reported level of HAA5 (five regulated haloacetic acids) was 0.549 µg/L. The maximum reported level of Manganese was 1170 µg/L. Some (2 of 4 or 50%) of the latest water samples showed levels of Manganese that were at or above unsafe concentration levels. There were 2 contamintants found in the Bastrop 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.
