Easton Water Division (MA) Water Quality

Easton Water Division is a large public water system in EPA region 1 that provides tap water for the 02334, 02375 zip codes. It has 14 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 11.879 µg/L. The maximum reported level of Manganese was 1180 µg/L. Some (2 of 8 or 25%) of the latest water samples showed levels of Manganese that were at or above unsafe concentration levels. There were 2 contamintants found in the Easton Water Division 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.
