City of High Point (NC) Water Quality

City of High Point is a large public water system in EPA region 4 that provides tap water for the 27235, 27261 - 27263, 27282, 27360, 27407, 27410 zip codes. It has 11 facilities where the water supply was tested for 78 chemical contaminants that impact tap water quality and human health.

The maximum reported level of HAA5 (five regulated haloacetic acids) was 73.151 µg/L. Some (1 of 32 or 3%) 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 1.291 µg/L. There were 2 contamintants found in the City of High Point 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.
