Stoughton Water Department (MA) Water Quality

Stoughton Water Department is a large public water system in EPA region 1 that provides tap water for the 02072 zip codes. It has 18 facilities where the water supply was tested for 54 chemical contaminants that impact tap water quality and human health.

The maximum reported level of HAA5 (five regulated haloacetic acids) was 23.36 µg/L. The maximum reported level of Manganese was 30 µg/L. The maximum reported level of quinoline was 0.07 µg/L. Some (2 of 13 or 15%) of the latest water samples showed levels of quinoline that were at or above unsafe concentration levels. There were 3 contamintants found in the Stoughton Water Department 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.
