Brockton Water Commission (MA) Water Quality

Brockton Water Commission is a large public water system in EPA region 1 that provides tap water for the 02301 - 02305, 02382 zip codes. It has 4 facilities where the water supply was tested for 78 chemical contaminants that impact tap water quality and human health.

The maximum reported level of alpha-hexachlorocyclohexane was 0.013 µg/L. Some (1 of 8 or 13%) of the latest water samples showed levels of alpha-hexachlorocyclohexane that were at or above unsafe concentration levels. The maximum reported level of HAA5 (five regulated haloacetic acids) was 76.2 µg/L. Some (2 of 32 or 6%) of the latest water samples showed levels of HAA5 (five regulated haloacetic acids) that were at or above unsafe concentration levels. The maximum reported level of Manganese was 159 µg/L. There were 3 contamintants found in the Brockton Water Commission water supply at levels that were above the minimum reporting level. 2 of the contaminants were above the reference level, which means they may pose a risk to human health.
