Grafton Water District (MA) Water Quality

Grafton Water District is a large public water system in EPA region 1 that provides tap water for the 01519, 01560 zip codes. It has 15 facilities where the water supply was tested for 87 chemical contaminants that impact tap water quality and human health.

The maximum reported level of HAA5 (five regulated haloacetic acids) was 15.29 µg/L. The maximum reported level of Manganese was 1350 µg/L. Some (3 of 10 or 30%) of the latest water samples showed levels of Manganese that were at or above unsafe concentration levels. There were 2 contamintants found in the Grafton 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.
